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 both_o at_o once_o so_o time_n and_o place_n be_v twin_n make_v both_o together_o and_o all_o of_o they_o for_o the_o use_n of_o the_o creature_n none_o of_o they_o for_o any_o use_n to_o god_n for_o 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

8._o there_o be_v nothing_o over_o and_o how_o little_a so_o ever_o there_o be_v no_o want_n but_o why_o thould_v we_o talk_v of_o set_a time_n for_o the_o say_n of_o that_o which_o it_o seem_v by_o

continual_o meaning_n with_o that_o part_n which_o do_v indeed_o never_o lie_v still_o unless_o we_o be_v still_o bear_v and_o that_o be_v the_o heart_n for_o as_o the_o heart_n be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a spiritual_a motion_n and_o if_o that_o once_o cease_v we_o have_v no_o long_o any_o life_n in_o our_o body_n so_o it_o must_v be_v in_o a_o perpetual_a spiritual_a motion_n for_o if_o that_o once_o cease_v we_o have_v no_o long_o any_o life_n in_o our_o soul_n and_o think_v not_o this_o a_o impossible_a matter_n for_o as_o the_o perpetual_a corporal_a motion_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o ordinary_a work_n of_o our_o generation_n so_o the_o perpetual_a spir_n tuall_a motion_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v as_o ordinary_a a_o work_n of_o our_o regeneration_n and_o this_o be_v

to_o discover_v our_o thought_n by_o word_n because_o of_o the_o angel_n for_o angel_n know_v not_o our_o thought_n but_o they_o hear_v our_o word_n and_o when_o they_o hear_v our_o tongue_n they_o

it_o may_v seem_v a_o strange_a prayer_n of_o david_n to_o 37._o say_v averte_fw-fr oculos_fw-la ●e_n videant_fw-la vanitatem_fw-la turn_v away_o my_o eye_n from_o see_v vanity_n as_o though_o god_n

we_o delight_v to_o look_v upon_o and_o what_o we_o love_v we_o love_v to_o be_v see_v and_o so_o to_o pray_v to_o god_n that_o our_o eye_n may_v not_o see_v vanity_n be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o pray_v for_o grace_n that_o we_o be_v not_o in_o love_n with_o vanity_n for_o indeed_o vanity_n have_v of_o itself_o so_o graceful_a a_o aspect_n that_o it_o be_v not_o for_o a_o natural_a man_n to_o leave_v

and_o as_o david_n here_o make_v his_o prayer_n in_o the_o particular_a against_o temptation_n of_o prosperity_n so_o ch●ist_n teach_v we_o to_o make_v our_o prayer_n in_o the_o general_a against_o the_o temptation_n both_o of_o prosperity_n and_o adversity_n and_o very_o just_o for_o many_o can_v bear_v the_o temptation_n of_o one_o kind_n who_o be_v quick_o overcome_v by_o temptation_n of_o the_o other_o kind_n so_o david_n can_v bear_v persecution_n without_o murmur_v but_o when_o he_o come_v to_o prosperity_n he_o can_v not_o turn_v away_o his_o eye_n from_o vanity_n in_o his_o cross_n

prosperity_n so_o there_o be_v other_o that_o can_v bear_v prosperity_n with_o moderation_n who_o be_v quick_o overcome_v with_o impatience_n in_o adversity_n and_o it_o seem_v the_o devil_n take_v

endear_n of_o joh_n for_o as_o there_o be_v no_o such_o cross_n to_o the_o devil_n to_o make_v he_o impatient_a as_o to_o see_v a_o man_n that_o be_v patient_a in_o cross_n so_o there_o be_v no_o
