Thirdly, God is said to be in the World, and in the things of the World, In regard of his Essence; Essentially present unto all the World. For every Attribute of God ⟨p. 75⟩is like unto God; his Attributes are all infinite, He is infinite in Wisdom, Justice, Power, and Mercy: and so, he is infinite in his Essence, and therefore Essentially present unto all the World. And thus also, Christ is in the heart of a Believer, as God, so is Christ. But yet this is not all.

And so God was in the Temple, not because his Essence was more in the Temple than in another place; but he was in the Temple by way of Manifestation of Himself unto his People there. And thus also, Jesus Christ is in the hearts of those that are believers, specially manifesting, and revealing himself there unto them. But yet this is not all neither.
