But now from the union of the Manhood to the Godhead to argue a coextension ⟨p. 92⟩or joint-presence therewith is an inconsequent argument, as may appear in other things. The Soul hath a kind of immensity in her little world, being in each part thereof whole and entire, and yet it follows not because the Soul is united to the Body, that therefore the Body must needs partake of this Omnipresence of the Soul, else should the whole body be in the little finger, because the Soul unto which it is united is wholly there. Again, there is an unseparable union between the Sun and the beam, so that it is infallibly true to say, the Sun is no where severed from the beam, yet we know they both occupy a distinct place: again, Misle•oe is so united to the substance of the Tree out of which it groweth, that (though of a different nature) it subsisteth not but in and by the subsistence of the Tree, and yet it hath not that amplitude of place which the Tree hath.
But now from the union of the Manhood to the Godhead to argue a coextention ⟨p. 92⟩or joynt-presence therewith is an inconsequent argument, as may appeare in other things. The Soule hath a kinde of immensity in her little world, being in each part thereof whole and entire, and yet it followes not because the Soule is united to the Body, that therefore the Body must needs partake of this Omnipresence of the Soule, else should the whole body be in the little finger, because the Soule unto which it is united is wholly there. Againe, there is an unseparable union betweene the Sunne and the beame, so that it is infallibly true to say, the Sunne is no where severed from the beame, yet wee know they both occupy a distinct place: againe, Misle•oe is so united to the substance of the Tree out of which it groweth, that (though of a different nature) it subsisteth not but in and by the subsistence of the Tree, and yet it hath not that amplitude of place which the Tree hath.
