2. Reason. From his ubiquity. He is Omniscient, because Omnipresent, Jer. 23. 24. Do not I fill 1heaven and earth? He is no where included, and yet no where excluded; His circumference is every where: God hath an eye in Councils, in Armies, he makes an Heart-anatomy; he sees what mens designs are, and whither they are driving. If hatred wears the livery of Friendship, if Ambition ⟨p. 16⟩comes masked with humility, if Religion be made a stirrup to get into the saddle of preferment, God sees it; And though they dig into hell, thence shall my hand take them, Amos 9. 2.

His Centre is every where, and his eye is ever in his Centre.
