The fifth is [Greek or Hebrew], God, 600 times used in the New Testament: and of profane Writers commonly. It is derivedc [Greek or Hebrew], because he runs through and compasseth all things: or [Greek or Hebrew], which signifieth to burn and kindle: for God is Light and the Author both of Heat, dLight, and Life, in all Creatures, either immediately of himself; or mediately by secondary causes. This name i• used either improperly, or properly. Improperly, when it is given either figuratively, to Magistrates, or falsely to Idols. But when it is properly and absolutely taken, it signifieth the Eternal Essence of God, being above all things, and through all things: giving life and light to all creatures, and preserving and governing them, in their wonderful frame and order. God seeth all in all places: Let us therefore every where take heed what we do in his sight.
