10. We are never so safe in matter of divinity, as when we go along with scripture, & one place may easily prevent the mistaking of another, if we give our selves to the due consideration of it, and submit unto those means which God hath appointed for our edification. And the Scriptures represent his being every where in respect of two things. 1. In respect of knowing all things, as Why sayest thou o Jacob 1and speakest o Israel. My way is hid from the Lord, and my judgement is passed over my God. Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God the Lord hath created the ends of the Earth, &c. 2. In respect of his power containing 2them, as whither shall I go from thy Spirit, or whither shall I slay from thy presence? If I ascend into Heaven thou art there, &c. Let me take the wings of the Morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the Sea, yet thither shall thine hand lead me, and thy right hand hold me.
