Praesentemque refert quaelibet herba Deum.
And yet they are said to be without God in the World, Eph. 2: 12. But the Lord is in the midst of his Church. 1. By his Spiritual Residence, and gracious presence with them. Moses Prayers, I beseech thee show me thy Glory, Exod. 33: 18. and God answers, I will make all my goodness to pass before thee, he shows his Glory when he proclaims his Goodness. In Israel is the perfection of Glory, Psal. 50: 2. to Israel pertains the Adoption, and therefore the Glory, Rom. 9: 4. Of the Church only are glorious things spoken, Psal. 87: 3. The Church is his Throne, the World but his Footstool, Jer. 17: 12. In the Church is the splendour of his Royal Majesty principally seen: Evidences whereof in the Tabernacle and Temple, were, the Cloud which filled the House, 1 Reg. 8: 11. and the voice which spake from off the mercy seat, Num. 7: 89.
