10. Omnipresence; Your God is an Omnipresent God, he is everywhere; 1included in no place, excluded from no place. Non est ubi, ubi non est Deus. 1 King. 8. 27. Behold the heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him; how much less this house that I have builded? Isa. 66. 1. The heaven is my Throne, and the earth is my footstool. Jer. 23. 24. Can any hide himself in ⟨p. 48⟩secret places that I shall not see him, saith the Lord? Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord, Prov. 15. 3. The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good. Psal. 139. 7. Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? or whither shall I fly from thy presence? Verse 8. If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there. Verse 9. If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea: Verse 10. Even there shall thine hand l•ad me, and thy right hand shall hold me. Angels are of a limited presence, because of a limited essence; and the bodies of men have their circumscription by limited place; every creature hath his limited Ubi, or place; but God is an infinite, and immense being, whose Centre is everywhere, and whose circumference is now here.
