From these propositions, taken together with those set forth in the same work concerning Creation, it may indeed appear that what is called the Divine Providence is the government of the Divine Love and Wisdom of the Lord.

I know that many will say to themselves: How can anyone, interiorly in his rational (mind), comprehend anything apart from space and apart from time; and further comprehend not only that it is, but also that it is the All and the Self from which all things are? Think, however, interiorly whether love or any affection of love, or wisdom or any perception of wisdom, or indeed whether thought, is... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=49 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 88 88.

Every power must... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=88 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 92 92.* VI.

Therefore all that has been said concerning regeneration may be said of conjunction, and all that has been said concerning conjunction ma... http://www.smallcanonsearch.com/read.php?book=dp§ion=92 Angelic Wisdom about Divine Providence 114 114.

I. IF A MAN PERCEIVED AND FELT THE OPERATION OF THE DIVINE PROVIDENCE HE WOULD NOT ACT FROM FREEDOM ACCORDING TO REASON; NOR WOULD ANYTHING APPEAR TO HIM TO BE AS FROM HIMSELF.

The merely natural man confirms himself against the Divine Providence when he sees that the Mohammedan religion is accepted by so many empires and kingdoms.
