But as some Scriptures seem to confine God to heaven, so other Scriptures seem to deny that he is every where on earth. Thus Moses said to the people of Israel (Numb. 14.42.) Go not up for the Lord is not among you. And again (Deut. 7.21.) Thou shalt not be affrighted at them, for the Lord thy God is among you; with some the Lord is, with others the Lord is not; and he is with the same persons at one time, not at another; How then can it be said, that the Lord is every where present?

Thus God is with some persons, and not with others; thus he is sometime present with, sometime absent from the same person. It was this favourable presence for which Moses did so earnestly entreat the Lord (Exod. 33.15.)

I answer, when Moses sayth (and many other Texts which speake in the same forme) that God was sometimes with his people, and somtimes not; we are not to understand it at all of a local presence, or absence, but of a favourable presence or absence. Thus God is with some persons, and not with others; thus he is sometime present with, sometime absent from the same person. It was this favourable presence for which Moses did so earnestly entreate the Lord (
