First, That God he is, and there is none else; He is such a being, as in comparison of him nothing else hath a being; He is that being that hath no succession, that is always the same; He is an excellency in all places, that fills all places without any local motion at all; He is a being that hath all sufficiency in himself, he hath all excellencies, in him is an universality of all excellencies, he ⟨p. 27⟩hath all excellencies united in one that are scattered up and down in Creatures; yea, all the attributes of God are in him but one, he hath in him all possible good whatsoever; all things that are in God, are equally in him, they are all infinitely in him, they are eternally, immutably, essentially, purely, without mixture, originally, he is the fountain of all good to the Creature; all excellency in the Creature doth absolutely depend upon him; he is excellent in his operation, he can do whatsoever he will, he can do the greatest thing as easily as the least, and one act from eternity, is enough to do all that ever he hath done; He can communicate as much of himself as he will to his Creature, and he hath never a whit the less in himself; there can be no comparison between him and the Creature, the highest Creature comes not nearer him than the least, and he is the highest end of all things whatsoever; and this God is our God; this is the God that we profess to serve, that we profess to worship, and these are to be the thoughts that we are to have of God when we come before him; Now you cannot but imagine that there must needs be abundance of streams of Use and Application that must follow from these things; all that I have done, it is but to present what God is.
