The eyes of the Lord run too and fro through the whole earth, are an allusion to a man who having a desire to know much, or to see all in the world, runs up and down, travels from place to place, from Country to Country for information. The Lord would have us know that he knoweth every thing as exactly, as they who run from place to place to see what's done in every place. It is prophesied of the latter times (Dan: 12.4.) Many shall run too and fro, and knowledge shall be increased; that is, many shall be so graciously greedy of knowledge, that they will refuse no labour nor travel to attain it. They will run too and fro, to inquire and search for it, they will not think any time or labour lost, if they may but gain that precious commodity by it, called true knowledge, or the knowledge of the truth. And that expression of running too and fro, may well be expounded, they shall by discourse and arguing bear out the truth; In discoursing the mind runs too and fro faster then the feet can in travelling; In discourse we run from point to point, from reason to reason, from objection to objection, from question to question, till we come to solid answers and conclusions, and so knowledge is increased. The Lord is surely a God of knowledge, whose eyes run too and fro without motion, and see the bottom of all things, without discourse or argumentation.
