disposer

It pleased the Great Disposer of events to terminate his life before the completion of this his last pious work.

There's little alteration: Some rise, and others fall, as it stands with The pleasure of the duke, their great disposer.

Do you believe that your Father's will is the disposer of all?

He took his lot as it came to him, as a man who does the best he can and leaves the rest to the Disposer of events.

By the unsearchable counsels of the Disposer of Events he has been called suddenly, and without warning, to his account.
