Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 17:26

26 And hath made of one blood, all nations of men, for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation:

1. To teach all charity and compassion towards one another, being so nearly allied to one another. 2. As also to admire God more in that variety that appears in mens shapes and voices, but especially in the diipositions of their minds; whenas they all come from one stock and stem.

The Apostle asserts the providence of God against these Athenian Philosophers, that nothing comes by chance, or a satuitous concourse of Atomes; but that God is in every thing, tho men know it not, or rather will not consider it, Iob 7.1. and 14.5, 14. This Doctrine was preached by Moses, who tells the people, that God is their life, and the length of their days; that they might love him, and obey his voice, and cleave unto him, Deut. 30.20.
