anguish_n and_o torment_n but_o in_o heaven_n it_o be_v have_v for_o not_o only_o the_o angel_n but_o the_o saint_n of_o god_n behold_v his_o face_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o make_v the_o

be_v bu●_n 3.1_o servant_n where_o every_o word_n be_v unspeakable_a and_o ever●_n motion_n be_v a_o miracle_n we_o may_v plain_o know_v it_o to_z ●e_z the_o dwell_n of_o he_o who_o name_n be_v

be_v even_o in_o that_o deceive_v for_o how_o can_v he_o have_v a_o place_n to_o be_v in_o when_o place_n itself_o have_v yet_o no_o being_n for_o as_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v twin_n create_v

god_n be_v eternal_a have_v no_o use_n of_o time_n and_o be_v infinite_a can_v have_v no_o place_n but_o out_o of_o eternity_n by_o his_o omnipotent_a power_n he_o produce_v time_n and_o out_o of_o

heaven_n thou_o must_v comprehend_v infiniteness_n which_o be_v not_o infinite_a if_o it_o can_v be_v comprehend_v and_o yet_o as_o no_o place_n be_v great_a enough_o to_o hold_v god_n so_o none_o be_v small_a enough_o to_o exclude_v he_o for_o he_o be_v place_n to_o himself_o he_o be_v place_n himself_o as_o david_n 32.7_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o place_n to_o kide_v i_o in_o and_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o name_n which_o the_o jew_n attribute_n to_o god_n that_o he_o be_v call_v maquom_n that_o be_v to_o say_v place_n yet_o it_o be_v happy_a for_o we_o that_o god_n write_v himself_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n because_o we_o know_v now_o where_o to_o find_v he_o lest_o otherwise_o we_o may_v wander_v infinite_o in_o the_o search_n of_o he_o and_o be_v never_o the_o near_o not_o that_o heaven_n limit_n god_n ubiquity_n but_o that_o it_o regulate_v our_o capacity_n for_o as_o one_o say_v well_o in_o another_o sense_n qui_fw-la ubique_fw-la est_fw-la nusquam_fw-la est_fw-la so_o certain_o if_o we_o know_v nothing_o of_o god_n be_v any_o where_o but_o that_o he_o be_v every_o where_o we_o may_v easy_o fall_v into_o the_o error_n to_o think_v he_o be_v no_o where_o just_o therefore_o do_v god_n write_v himself_o of_o heaven_n now_o that_o he_o style_v himself_o our_o father_n see_v he_o therefore_o make_v heaven_n because_o he_o intend_v to_o be_v our_o father_n that_o there_o may_v be_v one_o house_n to_o hold_v both_o he_o and_o his_o child_n and_o that_o where_o he_o be_v we_o may_v be_v 14.3_o also_o for_o to_o be_v with_o god_n where_o god_n be_v before_o he_o make_v the_o world_n or_o where_o he_o now_o be_v above_o or_o without_o the_o world_n be_v utter_o impossible_a for_o man_n or_o angel_n to_o attain_v to_o but_o why_o say_v we_o our_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o say_v not_o rather_o our_o heavenly_a father_n see_v by_o that_o we_o tell_v only_o where_o god_n be_v but_o by_o this_o we_o may_v tell_v what_o he_o be_v by_o that_o we_o name_v only_o his_o place_n but_o by_o this_o we_o may_v name_v his_o substance_n but_o we_o must_v

my_o father_n but_o i_o do_v not_o due_o pray_v if_o i_o say_v not_o our_o father_n we_o have_v not_o do_v with_o say_v our_o father_n until_o we_o have_v say_v which_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o so_o his_o humility_n may_v bring_v we_o to_o his_o majesty_n his_o love_n may_v lead_v we_o to_o his_o bounty_n for_o as_o before_o he_o abase_v himself_o in_o name_n to_o exalt_v we_o so_o here_o he_o streighten_v himself_o in_o place_n to_o enlarge_v we_o and_o to_o make_v we_o desirous_a of_o heaven_n as_o of_o the_o only_a home_n for_o his_o child_n he_o restrain_v himself_o to_o heaven_n as_o to_o the_o only_a mansion_n of_o his_o be_v but_o be_v not_o this_o word_n heaven_n as_o strange_o place_v here_o among_o these_o word_n as_o heaven_n itself_o be_v place_v above_o in_o the_o height_n of_o the_o firmament_n for_o what_o word_n of_o great_a nearness_n than_o father_n and_o child_n yet_o what_o word_n of_o great_a separation_n than_o heaven_n and_o earth_n who_o near_o to_o we_o than_o our_o father_n what_o further_a from_o we_o then_o to_o be_v in_o heaven_n but_o lest_o these_o word_n our_o father_n shall_v breed_v too_o great_a a_o familiarity_n in_o we_o these_o word_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n be_v just_o infer_v to_o make_v we_o keep_v a_o distance_n and_o yet_o in_o truth_n it_o be_v such_o a_o distance_n as_o do_v not_o so_o much_o divide_v we_o as_o that_o which_o be_v strange_a the_o very_a familiarity_n do_v estrange_v we_o for_o as_o consider_v god_n in_o heaven_n we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o be_v astonish_v with_o admiration_n at_o the_o

familiarity_n where_o it_o find_v effect_n of_o defect_n breed_v cause_n of_o contempt_n here_o where_o it_o find_v cause_n of_o admiration_n it_o breed_v effect_n of_o respect_n and_o may_v we_o not_o find_v some_o other_o treasure_n wrap_v up_o in_o these_o word_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n for_o when_o we_o say_v our_o father_n it_o carry_v the_o mind_n in_o a_o ambiguity_n and_o if_o we_o apply_v it_o to_o god_n this_o be_v yet_o a_o transcendent_a and_o give_v no_o period_n to_o our_o understanding_n but_o when_o we_o add_v which_o be_v in_o heaven_n this_o both_o determine_v the_o ambiguity_n and_o limit_n the_o transcendency_n and_o so_o the_o mind_n have_v something_o now_o in_o certain_a whereupon_o to_o fix_v itself_o which_o though_o it_o afford_v not_o a_o visible_a

and_o carve_a image_n yet_o it_o afford_v the_o visible_a place_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o this_o serve_v sufficient_o both_o to_o elevate_v the_o mind_n and_o also_o to_o fix_v the_o understanding_n for_o we_o no_o soon_o have_v a_o thought_n of_o god_n but_o the_o mind_n have_v present_o recourse_n to_o heaven_n as_o fix_v itself_o upon_o the_o place_n where_o he_o be_v visible_a see_v upon_o the_o visibility_n of_o himself_o it_o can_v and_o be_v it_o not_o another_o cause_n why_o we_o say_v which_o be_v in_o heaven_n to_o make_v we_o know_v that_o god_n be_v no_o where_o to_o be_v speak_v withal_o but_o in_o heaven_n for_o if_o our_o thought_n when_o we_o pray_v stay_v grovel_v about_o the_o earth_n and_o our_o word_n rather_o fall_v from_o our_o mouth_n then_o rise_v from_o our_o heart_n hough_o god_n no_o doubt_n may_v hear_v such_o prayer_n by_o the_o extent_n of_o his_o power_n yet_o he_o hear_v it_o not_o gracious_o by_o extend_v his_o grace_n for_o earth_n
