First, That in Worshipping of God, there is a drawing nigh to God.
Quest. Why is not God in every place?
Answ. Yes certainly, we can never be in any place but we are nigh to God, God stands by us and looks upon us It is not only when you are Worshipping of God that you are nigh him, but when you sin against him: when thou art swearing profaning his Name his Day, God stands & looks upon thee thou art nigh him: And it may be said or written upon every place, what was said of the City in the last words of the Prophecy of Ezek. 48. 35. The name of the City was Jeh••ab-Shammah, that is, the Lord is there, the Lord Jehovah he is there, he is present in this place: Oh that you would remember when you are in any place, that the name of that place is ••chovah-Shammah, The Lord is there. In him we live, we move […] being therefore we are always nigh him yea but though we are always nigh God in regard of that essential presence of his, yet there is a more peculiar and special drawing nigh to God in the duties of his Worship, and that the Scripture seems to hold forth unto you. First Isle show you how the Scripture holds it forth, and then in what respects the Creature may be said to draw nigh to God in holy duties of Worship; for so it was here, they were coming to offer Incense.
