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.

The Lord appears where and as he pleaseth, but he cannot be otherwise or otherwhere then he is, and that is every where. While the Psalmist queried, Whether shall I go from thy presence? He was so far from imagining that any such place could be found, that in the very next words he concludeth God to be every where, by an enumeration of all places, (
