The Grace and Duty of Being Spiritually Minded

2. In case we are brought unto a loss and disorder in our minds, on the contemplation of any one Infinite Property of God, it is good to divert our Thoughts unto the Effects of it, such as whereof we have, or may have experience; for what is too great or high for us in it self, is made suitable to our understandings in its Effects. So the Invisible things of God, are known in and by the things that are seen. And there is indeed no Property of the Divine Nature, but we may have an experience of it as unto some of its effects in and upon our selves. These we may consider, and in the Streams taste of the Fountain which we cannot approach. By them we may be led unto an holy admiration of what is in it self Infinite, Immense, Incomprehensible. I cannot comprehend the Immensity of Gods Nature, it may be I cannot understand the nature of Immensity; yet if I find by experience and do strongly believe, that he is always present wherever I am, I have the Faith of it, and satisfaction in it.

(2.) With Thoughts of the divine Being, those of his Omnipresence and Omniscience ought continually to accompany us. We cannot take one step in a walk before him, unless we remember that always and in all places he is present with us, that the frame of our hearts and our inward Thoughts are continually in his view no less than our outward Actions. And as we ought to be perpetually under an awe of, and in the fear of God in these apprehensions, so there are some seasons wherein our minds ought to be in the actual conception
