Acts 17:26: Wi: all are sprung from Adam's line

Religion

Wi: all are sprung from Adam's line,
The workmanship of Love Divine,
Who doth His family disperse;
God all our motions regulates,
The time of our duration sets,
And spreads us o'er the universe:
Nothing to fate or chance He leaves;
The nation's bounds to each He gives,
To each assigns their measured land;
Rivers their course appointed know,
And seas by His direction flow,
And everlasting mountains stand.
