It is not to be expected that God is to perform miracles at every instant for our individual benefit.

It is unreasonable in us to suppose that, in obedience to our wishes or desires, He will alter His immutable laws.
A foot slips on the brink of a precipice, and we are dashed to atoms.
Our boat is upset in a squall, and we are drowned.

Like Stanislaus Leszinsky, King of Poland, we fall asleep in the corner of a chimney, our clothes take fire, and we are burned to death.

We go a hunting; we mistake a grey overcoat for the fur of a deer, and we kill our friend or his gamekeeper, as once happened to the son of Louis XV., who in consequence almost died of grief, and renounced forever a sport of which he was passionately fond.

Did Providence will, exact, or pre-ordain all these calamities?
Certainly not; but our Creator has seen fit to tolerate and permit them, since he did not interpose to prevent them.
The government of God is a conception so wonderful, so sublime, that none but Himself can fathom its depths.
