CHAP. 3. Of the life of God.
Hitherto we have spoken of the perfection of Gods nature. Now followeth the life of God, by which the Divine Nature is in perpetual action, living, and moving in it self, Psal. 42. 2. My soul thirsteth for God, even for the living God, when shall I come and appear before the presence of God? Hebr. 3. 12. See that there be not at any time in any of you an evil heart to depart from the living God.
