Reprint of the original, first published in 1840.
Excerpt from The Doctrine of a Divine Special Providence Illustrated: A Sermon Preached in the Episcopal Church, Brantford, on Sunday, March 29th, 1857; Being an Attempt to Improve the Recent Railroad Disaster, at the Desjardine's Canal Bridge, Near the City of Hamilton, on the 12th of March Not a Sparrow shall fall to the ground without my Father. The particular occasion on which the following discourse was delivered was one of such general and painful interest, and all the circumstances were so fully given in the Newspapers at the time, that it seems quite unnecessary to preface the present sermon with any detailed account of the sad catastrophe.

Like his Puritan colleagues, Sedgwick was a wise observer of providence. In "Providence Handled Practically," he shows how the over ruling hand of God should be considered as it comes to bear on the life of the Christian and the church. After briefly explaining the words of Matthew 10:29-31, he distinguishes between God's general and special providence. Then follows an extensive discussion of the practical use of this doctrine. The author's Thanksgiving sermon, entitled "Haman's Vanity," which was preached before the House of Commons is added as an appendix to this work. Here, Sedgwick draws a parallel between Haman's plot to decimate the Jews and a Royalist plot that was hatched in London to seize the Parliamentary leaders. This edition has been edited for modern readers and has an introductory essay by Joel R. Beeke and Matthew Winzer. Read it, pass it along to a friend, and be comforted by the God who promises to never forsake the works of His own hands.
