which_o contain_v be_v a_o transient_a operation_n of_o god_n proceed_v from_o his_o power_n &_o his_o will_n thus_o say_v the_o apostle_n god_n be_v not_o far_o from_o every_o one_o of_o we_o for_o as_o much_o as_o in_o he_o we_o 28._o live_v &_o move_v &_o have_v our_o be_v and_o mark_v but_o the_o particular_n of_o explication_n propose_v by_o vasquius_fw-la according_a to_o the_o best_a

most_o true_a i_o confess_v for_o certain_o he_o be_v no_o more_o distant_a in_o place_n from_o a_o mouse_n then_o from_o a_o angel_n but_o he_o be_v join_v with_o the_o thing_n themselves_o whether_o in_o respect_n of_o himself_o or_o of_o his_o operation_n so_o than_o if_o god_n operation_n be_v join_v with_o the_o thing_n themselves_o it_o suffice_v by_o this_o opinion_n to_o maintain_v that_o god_n be_v present_a with_o they_o by_o his_o essence_n yet_o if_o you_o consider_v it_o well_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o be_v all_o one_o with_o his_o presence_n in_o respect_n of_o his_o power_n for_o that_o be_v expound_v thus_o god_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a universe_n by_o his_o power_n because_o his_o operation_n reach_v unto_o every_o thing_n next_o consider_v how_o god_n be_v in_o every_o thing_n by_o his_o presence_n first_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v in_o every_o thing_n by_o his_o presence_n seem_v a_o very_a absurd_a manner_n of_o speech_n for_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v present_a in_o every_o thing_n by_o his_o presence_n then_o consider_v the_o explication_n of_o it_o he_o knowethe_v all_o thing_n therefore_o he_o be_v present_a
