Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sermon, Preached Before the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, in Boston, June 1, 1795: Being the Anniversary of Their Election of Officers In all our reflections on this administration of the universe, we ought to entertain a full persuasion, that he permits nothing unfit to be permitted, and effects nothing unfit to be effected; that he connects and regulates events, apparently most disconnected and irregular and so over-rules and disposes them, that confusion issues in order, tumult in tranquillity, and suffering in enjoyment. By which a perpetual and devout acknowledgment of the Supreme Being in all that takes place, we show a becoming sense of his authority, and learn his nature and perfections, the rules of his government, and the duty and interest of his rational offspring. Our hearts are impressed with reverence and humility, and expanded with admiration and joy. The murmurs of discontent are hushed; the alarms of fear are quieted; the gloom, which often gathers over this disordered late, is dispersed; and lustre is shed upon the face of the world.
