Surely both young and old, have reason to be afraid of him that is high, to have reverential thoughts of God, who is in the high• of heaven, higher then the heavens. The distance of man from God, as God is in heaven and man on earth, is great, and the dissimilitude of man to God, as God is holy and man corrupt, is far ⟨p. 108⟩greater; either of these Considerations single is enough, but both these laid together, is abundantly enough to keep the heart in an humble self-abasing frame before the Lord.

2ly, Taking these words, Is not God in the height of heaven? As the supposed speech of Job, thou sayest God is in the height of heaven; that is, confined to heaven, so, that he looks no further, but thou art deceived, God is not locked up in heaven, he looks to all things here on earth. As the earth is the Lords, and the fullness of it, as to right & propriety, so the earth is the Lords with all the fullness of it, as to care and providence. Though there be a distinctness in the manner or manifestation of his being in heaven and on earth; yet he is as truly and as much on earth as he is in heaven.
