Q. 8. Is not God every where: Is he more in Heaven than any where else?
A. All Place and All things are in God: He is absent from none: Nor is his Essence divisible or Commensurate by Place, or limited; or more here than there: But to us God is known by his Works and Appearances; and therefore said to be most where he worketh most: And so we say, that God dwelleth in him who dwelleth in Love: That he walketh in his Church; that we are his Habitation by the Spirit; that Christ and the Holy Spirit dwell in Believers: Because they operate extraordinarily in them: And so God is said to be in Heaven, because he there manifesteth his Glory to the Felicity of all the Blessed, and hath made Heaven that Throne of his Majesty, from whence all Light, and Life, and Goodness, all Mercy, •nd all Justice are communicated to and exercised on Men. And so we that cannot see God himself, must •ook up to the Throne of the Heavenly Glory in our Prayers, Hopes and Joys. Even as a Mans Soul is undivided in all his Body, and yet it worketh not alike •• all its parts, but it is in the Head, that it useth Reason, Sight, &c. and doth most notably appear to thers in the Face, and is almost visible in the Eye: nd therefore when you talk to a Man, you look him the Face; and as you talk not to his Flesh but to his sensitive and intellectual Soul, so you look to that art where it most apparently showeth its sense and tellection.
