1 An Anthropo-pathia is a sacred Metaphor, whereby those things, that are properly spoken of man, are by a similitude attributed unto God. Hence it is that the soul of God is put for his life or essence. Jerem. 5. 29. Or shall not my soul be avenged of such a nation as this? Head is used for prince, or above. 1. Cor. 11. 3.

His eyes are used for grace and providence.
