The divine life in three treatises

And though God be infinitely above us, yet he condescendeth to communicate to us according to our capacities: As the Sun is far from us, and yet doth not disdain to enlighten, and warm, and quicken a worm or fly here below. If any be yet so much an Atheist as to think that Religious converse with God is but a fancy, let him well answer me these few questions.

Quest. 1. Doth not the continued being and well-being of the Creatures, tell us that there is a God on whom (for being and well-being) they depend, and from whom they are and have whatsoever they are and whatsoever they have? And therefore that passively all the Creatures have more respect to him by far then to one another?

Quest. 2. Seeing God communicateth to every Creature according to their several capacities; is it not meet then that he deal with man as man, even as a Creature Rational, capable to know and love and obey his Great Creator, and to be happy in the knowledge, love and fruition of him? That man hath such natural faculties, and capacities, is not to be denied by a man that knoweth what it is to be a man: And that God hath not given him these in vain, will be easily believed by any that indeed believe that he is God.
