Wollebius:
The actual providence of God is that work by which God not on preserves his creatures, but governs all things with unlimited [immensus] wisdom, goodness, power, justice, and mercy.
I. To deny providence is to deny God.
II. Actual providence differs from eternal providence as the execution of a decree differs from the decree.
III. In eternal providence what God intends to do, in actual providence what he wants, is uppermost.
IV. Providence consists not only of knowledge, but of the governance of all things, from the greatest to the least.
V. The providence of God does not destroy secondary causes, but upholds them.
VI. From the standpoint of providence, events which are contingent with respect to secondary causes are necessary. But it is the necessity of immutability, not of coercion.
VII. The providence of God is very different from Stoic fatalism. Stoic fatalism binds God in the net of secondary causes; Christian [teaching] subordinates secondary causes to the absolutely free will of God, which employs them freely, not of necessity, not because them, but because he wants them.
VIII. Both good and evil deeds are controlled by the providence of God.
IX. Good deeds are controlled by his effective act, under which heading belong the divine prevenience [praecursus] , concurrence [concursus] and support [succursus].
X. Evil deeds are controlled by realized [actuosus] permission, and hence by allowing, limiting, and directing them.
XI. The providence of God is always free from disorder and sin, even in connection with disorderly and sinful acts.
