PROVIDEO. This Word, which commonly signifies to provide, Deus providebit sibi victimam, is also used for, to foresee, to Gen. xxii. 8. Gen. xli. 33. Psal. xv. 8. Rom. xii. 12. 2 Cor. viii. 21. Gal. iii. 8. Acts ii. 31.seek, to prepare; Provideat Rex virum sapientem. Elsewhere it is taken for, to be attentive, to consider; Providebam Dominum in conspectu meo semper; I had God always before my Eyes. Elsewhere it is put for, to take care, to labour. We endeavour to do good, not only before God, but also before Men.; Providemus bona, non solùm coram Deo, sed etiam coram hominibus. Lastly, Provideo, is sometimes put for, to foresee, and to foretell; Providens autem spiritus sanctus. And elsewhere; David providens locutus est de resurrectione Christi.
