1Our impieties are not without witness. To videt Angelus malus, videt te bonus, videt et bonis et malis maior Angelis Deus. The good Angel, and the bad, and he that is abetter then the Angels, far above all principalities and powers, sees thee. The just man sets forth his actions to be justified. Lucem & aethera petit, & teste so•e vivit: 3He loves the light, and walks with the witness of the Sun. It is recorded of Jacob, bHe was a plain man, dwelling in Tents. cNathaniel (by the testimony of the best witness) was an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile. It was the Rabbins counsel to his Scholar: Remember, there is 1. a seeing Eye: 2. a hearing Ear. 3. a Book written. Sic vive cum hominibus, 6quasi Deus videat: sic loqu•re Deo, quas• homines a• diant. ⟨p. 123⟩So converse with men, as if GOD saw thee: so speak to God, as if men heard thee. For, non discessit Deus: quando recessit. God is not absent, though thou dost not feel him present. Corporeal substances are in one place locally and circumscriptively: incorporeal created substances, neither locally nor circumscriptively, but definitively. GOD the creating substance is every whit in every place: not circumscriptively as bodies; nor definitively as Angels; but repletively, (Jo•is omnia plena) filling every place by his essence. He is hypostatically in CHRIST: graciously in his Saints: gloriously in Heaven: powerfully in Hell. You see then the falsehood of the Devils assertion: Sins would be secret, but they are not.
