A treatise of the incomparableness of God in his being, attributes, works and word…

O what a Being is the blessed God, who is boundless not only in his duration, of which we have spoken before, and in all his Perfections and Attributes, of which we shall speak hereafter, but also in his Essence and Being. No place can circumscribe him, and no ubi can define him. He is over all (Creatures by his Power and Dominion) in you all (by his Essence and Influence) and through all (by his Providence) Ephes. 4.6. He is every where, not only virtually, as the Sun by his beams; nor authoritatively, ⟨p. 42⟩as a King, by subordinate Officers; not at all by multiplication, as the Loaves filled that place, which they did not before the Miracle; or by extension, as the rational Creature filleth that place, when a Man, which he did not, when an Infant; nor by local motion, from one place to another, as all bodily animate Creatures; or by division, as our Bodies are part in one place, and part in another; or by commixtion, as the Air mingleth it self with the terrestrial World; but essentially, after an unspeakable manner. As Philosophers say of the Soul, It's whole in the whole body, and whole in every part of the body: So I may say of God, He is whole in the whole World, and whole in every part of the World; yea, if he should please to make 10000 Worlds, he would fill all, and his whole Essence be in every part of each World, and yet without the least extension or multiplication, or motion.
