But it may be Objected, Who can depart from him who is every where? Christ is God, Joh. 1.1. 1 Joh. 5.20. And God is Omnipresent; Whither shall I fly from thy presence? Psal. 139.7. Therefore we must know there is a three-fold presence of God or Christ:
1. There is the essential presence of God, as he is infinite in his Being, included in no place, and excluded out of none, so none can depart from him, Psal. 139.6. to 10. Jer. 23.24. Amos 9.2, 3.
2. There is the favourable presence of God, as he is the Fountain of Life and Love, and the Father of Mercy, and kindness, and all good. The former is the presence of his Being, this of his Bounty. This is as the presence of the Sun by his heat cheering, and by his light delighting the Creature. His presence in this sense is the substance of his Promises; Fear not, I will be with thee, Isa. 43.2, 3, 5. Jer. 1.8. Jer. 15.20. ⟨p. 22⟩
