Ezekiel1:15
Ver. 15. Behold one wheel upon the earth] Things here below are exceeding mutable, and therefore compared to wheeles: becauſe they may ſeem to run on wheeles, and to have no certain courſe, but to be turned upſide down eftſoones; ſuch is the various, promiſcuous adminiſtration of them, to many mens thinking. To ſet us right herein, here we have the viſion of the four wheeles: for each of the four living-wights had a wheel by him, ver. 16. and chap. 10.9. to ſhew that God governeth all the four quarters of the world by the miniſtery of his Angels. This the Poets hammered at (but hit not on) in their fooliſh fable of Fortunes wheele. St. James ſpeaketh of the wheele of nature, [non-Latin text not transcribed]. chap 3.6. And indeed this world is of a wheeling nature, moveable and mutable. But God, who moves this wheel, who fuleth the world, is unchangeable and eternal, Jam. 1.17. and his providence, and the miniſtery of his Angels ſets all the wheels in the world in motion.
