If God be Infinite by his Omnipresence, then see the Greatness and Immenseness of the Divine Majesty▪ What a Great God do we serve? 1 Chr. 29.11. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the glory, and the majesty, and thou art exalted as head above all. Well may the Scripture display the Greatness of his Glory, who is Infinite in all places. He transcends our weak Conceptions, how can our finite Understanding comprehend him who is Infinite? He is infinitely above all our Praises, Neh. 9.5. Blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise. O what a poor Nothing is Man, when we think of God's Infiniteness, as the Stars disappear at the rising of the Sun! O how doth Man shrink into nothing when Infinite Majesty shines forth in his Glory, Isa. 40.15. The nations are as a drop of the bucket, or the small dust of the balance. O what a little of that Drop are we! The Heathens thought they had sufficiently praised Jupiter, when they called him Great Jupiter. Of what Immense Majesty is God who fills all places at once, his is excellent Greatness, Psal. 150.2.
