Ezekiel Hopkins wrote the following about God's providence (commenting on Jesus' statement concerning the hairs of our head being numbered):
Hence we learn that God governs the meanest, the most inconsiderable, and contemptible occurrences in the world by an exact and particular providence. Do you see a thousand little motes and atoms wandering up and down in a sun-beam? It is God that so peoples it; and he guides their innumerable and irregular strayings (from An Exposition on the Lord's Prayer, p. 267, quoted in A Puritan Theology, edited by Beeke/Jones, p. 165).
