of_o they_o which_o you_o shall_v find_v upon_o this_o ground_n magnify_v and_o set_v forth_o in_o psal._n 46.1_o 2._o 2._o god_n be_v our_o hope_n and_o strength_n therefore_o will_v we_o not_o fear_v though_o the_o earth_n be_v remove_v and_o though_o the_o mountain_n be_v carry_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n etc._n etc._n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v though_o there_o be_v a_o subversion_n of_o kingdom_n and_o a_o overthrow_n of_o all_o the_o church_n yea_o a_o confusion_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n as_o there_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o last_o day_n though_o the_o mountain_n be_v rend_v from_o their_o foundation_n and_o cast_v into_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o sea_n yet_o christian_n shall_v be_v sure_a all_o the_o while_n because_o god_n who_o be_v the_o first_o absolute_a and_o simple_a be_v and_o so_o the_o low_a foundation_n be_v their_o hope_n and_o strength_n that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o foundation_n low_a than_o all_o these_o that_o when_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v come_v to_o ruin_v yet_o god_n on_o who_o we_o trust_v shall_v be_v a_o sure_a help_n and_o comfort_n belove_a this_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v that_o you_o may_v know_v what_o your_o comfort_n be_v and_o upon_o what_o foundation_n you_o be_v build_v 2._o if_o god_n be_v most_o simple_a without_o all_o composition_n than_o this_o will_v follow_v that_o he_o can_v be_v hinder_v in_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o do_v about_o but_o be_v most_o independent_a as_o in_o be_v so_o in_o work_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o simplicity_n there_o be_v no_o creature_n but_o may_v be_v hinder_v for_o in_o the_o best_a of_o the_o creature_n to_o wit_n in_o the_o angel_n there_o be_v a_o essence_n and_o a_o executive_a power_n by_o which_o they_o work_v even_o as_o you_o see_v it_o in_o the_o fire_n there_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o fire_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o heat_n by_o which_o it_o work_v now_o where_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n a_o essence_n and_o a_o faculty_n by_o which_o it_o work_v something_o may_v come_v between_o and_o hinder_v the_o work_n and_o operation_n as_o in_o the_o babylonish_n furnace_n god_n separate_v between_o the_o fire_n and_o the_o heat_n that_o it_o can_v not_o burn_v the_o man_n that_o be_v cast_v into_o it_o dan._n 3._o so_o he_o do_v with_o the_o angel_n he_o come_v between_o the_o substance_n and_o the_o executive_a power_n and_o often_o hinder_v they_o from_o do_v what_o they_o will_v but_o in_o god_n see_v he_o be_v most_o simple_a and_o entire_a there_o be_v not_o a_o essence_n and_o executive_a power_n as_o the_o schoolman_n call_v it_o therefore_o there_o can_v nothing_o come_v between_o to_o be_v a_o impediment_n there_o be_v not_o any_o action_n that_o he_o intend_v but_o he_o work_v it_o absolute_o and_o of_o himself_o therefore_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v that_o that_o god_n which_o we_o have_v to_o worship_n and_o serve_v that_o nothing_o can_v come_v between_o and_o hinder_v he_o in_o work_v but_o what_o he_o will_v do_v he_o do_v and_o therefore_o we_o shall_v learn_v to_o fear_v before_o he_o and_o to_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o to_o acknowledge_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o power_n and_o to_o know_v the_o ground_n of_o it_o see_v he_o be_v so_o absolute_a and_o wonderful_a in_o all_o his_o work_n hence_o likewise_o it_o follow_v 3._o that_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v equal_a among_o themselves_o etc._n not_o one_o high_a than_o another_o or_o large_a than_o another_o for_o if_o he_o be_v simple_a and_o there_o be_v not_o two_o thing_n in_o he_o than_o his_o attribute_n or_o his_o essence_n and_o himself_o be_v the_o same_o and_o if_o so_o one_o can_v exceed_v another_o his_o mercy_n be_v not_o beyond_o his_o justice_n nor_o his_o justice_n beyond_o his_o wisdom_n therefore_o though_o he_o do_v put_v forth_o one_o attribute_n now_o another_o then_o yet_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o his_o mercy_n be_v great_a than_o all_o his_o attribute_n therefore_o that_o place_n in_o the_o psalmist_n his_o mercy_n be_v above_o all_o his_o work_n be_v common_o misunderstand_v the_o meaning_n be_v not_o that_o his_o mercy_n exceed_v all_o his_o other_o attribute_n but_o that_o his_o mercy_n be_v over_o and_o upon_o all_o his_o work_n as_o the_o warmth_n of_o the_o hen_n be_v over_o all_o the_o egg_n to_o warm_v and_o cherish_v and_o hatch_v they_o so_o god_n mercy_n be_v over_o all_o his_o work_n to_o cherish_v and_o nourish_v and_o perfect_v they_o that_o be_v it_o be_v show_v forth_o upon_o they_o all_o for_o it_o be_v not_o a_o comparative_a speech_n as_o if_o his_o mercy_n do_v exceed_v all_o his_o other_o attribute_n for_o if_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v himself_o they_o must_v be_v equal_a there_o be_v no_o difference_n in_o regard_n of_o height_n or_o largeness_n between_o they_o and_o thus_o the_o place_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v for_o so_o the_o word_n signify_v in_o the_o original_n and_o not_o according_a to_o the_o common_a acception_n so_o much_o for_o the_o consectary_n now_o we_o will_v come_v to_o use_n of_o practice_n use_v 1_o 1._o if_o simplicity_n be_v one_o of_o god_n excellency_n then_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o come_v as_o near_o to_o it_o as_o we_o can_v by_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v content_a with_o a_o simplicity_n of_o condition_n condition_n for_o this_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n the_o more_o composition_n the_o more_o weakness_n the_o more_o impediment_n and_o withal_o the_o more_o exposednesse_n to_o dissolution_n and_o decay_n therefore_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o weakness_n and_o impediment_n in_o work_v because_o he_o be_v most_o simple_a not_o have_v essence_n and_o faculty_n so_o that_o any_o thing_n shall_v come_v between_o and_o hinder_v he_o and_o therefore_o also_o be_v he_o not_o capable_a of_o dissolution_n &_o therefore_o the_o near_a any_o come_v to_o this_o simplicity_n they_o be_v as_o i_o say_v less_o weak_a less_o subject_a to_o impediment_n and_o destruction_n and_o the_o safe_a and_o strong_a and_o happy_a they_o be_v as_o for_o example_n the_o angel_n so_o far_o as_o they_o fall_v short_a of_o the_o simplicity_n of_o the_o eternal_a god_n who_o be_v bless_v for_o ever_o so_o far_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o all_o this_o they_o have_v faculty_n different_a from_o their_o essence_n and_o one_o from_o another_o as_o understanding_n will_n and_o their_o executive_a power_n hence_o they_o be_v subject_a to_o weakness_n for_o they_o may_v fall_v into_o sin_n as_o you_o know_v the_o first_o angel_n do_v and_o their_o faculty_n jar_v one_o with_o another_o and_o fall_v out_o of_o tune_n and_o have_v a_o executive_a power_n they_o be_v also_o subject_a to_o impediment_n whence_o neither_o the_o good_a angel_n nor_o the_o bad_a can_v do_v what_o they_o will_v but_o they_o be_v and_o may_v be_v hinder_v in_o the_o next_o place_n consider_v man_n and_o as_o he_o be_v much_o more_o compound_v than_o the_o angel_n so_o he_o be_v more_o weak_a more_o subject_a to_o impediment_n more_o liable_a to_o decay_v and_o ruin_n as_o sickness_n distemper_n cross_n death_n for_o he_o have_v not_o only_o a_o rational_a faculty_n as_o the_o angel_n have_v but_o sensitive_a a_o sensitive_a memory_n a_o sensitive_a fancy_n and_o a_o sensitive_a appetite_n he_o have_v also_o a_o body_n consist_v of_o divers_a member_n need_v many_o external_a help_n as_o air_n diet_n house_n exercise_n and_o so_o he_o be_v subject_a to_o many_o weakness_n many_o hurt_n many_o impediment_n and_o loss_n of_o all_o sort_n object_n you_o will_v say_v this_o be_v a_o man_n natural_a condition_n indeed_o but_o how_o shall_v this_o be_v help_v answ._n the_o natural_a condition_n can_v be_v change_v but_o it_o may_v be_v exceed_o help_v as_o if_o we_o bring_v our_o heart_n to_o be_v content_a with_o a_o more_o or_o less_o simplicity_n of_o condition_n that_o be_v if_o the_o disposition_n and_o constitution_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v such_o that_o it_o be_v not_o dependent_a upon_o many_o thing_n but_o upon_o few_o this_o be_v do_v when_o the_o thought_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o mind_n do_v not_o lie_v scatter_v hang_v or_o lie_v upon_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n so_o that_o you_o can_v live_v without_o it_o but_o when_o the_o mind_n be_v recollect_v and_o gather_v up_o so_o that_o you_o can_v be_v content_a with_o a_o simplicity_n of_o condition_n with_o god_n alone_o for_o your_o portion_n so_o that_o you_o can_v live_v with_o exceed_v little_a not_o require_v a_o multitude_n of_o thing_n upon_o which_o the_o contentment_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o mind_n do_v depend_v as_o for_o example_n some_o man_n can_v live_v without_o sport_n and_o pleasure_n and_o a_o great_a

1.14_o curse_a be_v the_o deceiver_n that_o have_v in_o his_o flock_n a_o male_a and_o vow_v and_o sacrifice_v to_o the_o lord_n a_o corrupt_a thing_n for_o i_o be_o a_o great_a king_n say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n and_o my_o name_n be_v dreadful_a among_o all_o nation_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o lord_n there_o use_v to_o stir_v they_o up_o i_o be_o a_o great_a king_n so_o that_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o greatness_n shall_v cause_v we_o to_o fear_v before_o he_o when_o he_o appear_v to_o jacob_n when_o he_o flee_v from_o his_o father_n house_n to_o his_o uncle_n laban_n gen._n 28.17_o jacob_n say_v of_o the_o place_n wherein_o god_n appear_v to_o he_o sure_o this_o place_n be_v exceed_o fearful_a the_o reason_n be_v because_o god_n appear_v there_o because_o he_o be_v present_a there_o his_o presence_n strike_v he_o with_o a_o awful_a reverence_n that_o he_o say_v the_o place_n be_v exceed_v fearful_a so_o we_o shall_v think_v of_o his_o dreadful_a presence_n when_o we_o come_v before_o he_o eccles._n 5.2_o be_v not_o rash_a with_o thy_o mouth_n and_o let_v not_o thy_o heart_n be_v hasty_a to_o utter_v any_o thing_n before_o god_n for_o god_n be_v in_o heaven_n and_o thou_o on_o earth_n therefore_o let_v thy_o word_n be_v few_o that_o be_v he_o be_v exceed_o great_a and_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n therefore_o learn_v to_o fear_v he_o when_o you_o draw_v nigh_o unto_o he_o that_o which_o may_v help_v we_o in_o this_o be_v to_o consider_v how_o glorious_a his_o apparition_n be_v when_o he_o appear_v to_o moses_n to_o the_o prophet_n as_o eliah_n and_o ezekiel_n and_o you_o must_v remember_v that_o though_o you_o see_v not_o these_o apparition_n yet_o consider_v that_o you_o have_v the_o same_o god_n to_o deal_v withal_o and_o though_o he_o do_v not_o show_v it_o so_o now_o yet_o he_o be_v as_o great_a now_o as_o then_o and_o so_o fear_v before_o he_o and_o this_o be_v to_o sanctify_v god_n in_o our_o heart_n that_o be_v when_o we_o conceive_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v and_o do_v according_o fear_v when_o we_o come_v before_o he_o and_o thus_o much_o in_o general_a of_o this_o attribute_n now_o this_o greatness_n of_o god_n be_v see_v in_o four_o particular_n first_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o presence_n second_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o power_n which_o be_v his_o omnipotence_n three_o in_o the_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o wisdom_n four_o in_o the_o absoluteness_n of_o his_o will_n that_o it_o be_v without_o all_o bound_n and_o limit_n the_o seven_o attribute_n of_o god_n the_o jnfinitenesse_n of_o his_o presence_n or_o his_o jmmensity_n for_o the_o first_o the_o infiniteness_n his_o presence_n immensity_n that_o be_v another_o attribute_n which_o he_o take_v to_o himself_o in_o scripture_n as_o jer._n 23.24_o can_v any_o man_n hide_v himself_o in_o secret_a place_n that_o i_o shall_v not_o see_v he_o say_v the_o lord_n do_v not_o i_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n say_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v he_o be_v present_a every_o where_o in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n even_o as_o water_v when_o it_o fill_v every_o place_n and_o as_o the_o light_n when_o it_o shine_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n so_o do_v not_o i_o fill_v heaven_n and_o earth_n say_v the_o lord_n so_o eph._n 4.6_o one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o who_o be_v above_o all_o and_o through_o all_o and_o in_o you_o all_o god_n fill_v all_o in_o all_o quest._n only_o this_o question_n may_v be_v ask_v whether_o he_o be_v without_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o he_o be_v in_o the_o world_n because_o some_o have_v dispute_v it_o therefore_o we_o will_v brief_o answer_v it_o answ._n the_o scripture_n be_v clear_a in_o it_o that_o he_o be_v without_o the_o world_n there_o be_v no_o limit_n of_o his_o essence_n that_o we_o can_v set_v down_o he_o be_v not_o contain_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n as_o you_o shall_v see_v in_o 2_o chron_n 2.6_o but_o who_o be_v able_a to_o build_v he_o a_o house_n see_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n can_v contain_v he_o but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o curious_a question_n therefore_o i_o will_v leave_v it_o and_o will_v come_v to_o show_v the_o reason_n of_o his_o omnipresence_n why_o he_o be_v immense_a why_o he_o be_v every_o where_o as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o the_o rest_n 1_o 1._o this_o property_n or_o attribute_n of_o immensity_n must_v needs_o be_v give_v to_o god_n because_o his_o essence_n be_v infinite_a which_o have_v be_v before_o prove_v now_o as_o the_o argument_n hold_v good_a that_o according_a to_o the_o substance_n of_o every_o thing_n such_o must_v the_o quality_n be_v in_o thing_n that_o have_v quantity_n if_o the_o body_n be_v great_a so_o must_v the_o quantity_n be_v so_o if_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a essence_n as_o he_o be_v there_o be_v as_o good_a reason_n that_o he_o shall_v have_v a_o infinite_a presence_n accompany_v it_o as_o that_o a_o great_a body_n have_v a_o quantity_n answerable_a to_o it_o so_o that_o he_o be_v of_o a_o infinite_a be_v and_o therefore_o also_o of_o a_o infinite_a presence_n 2._o 2._o you_o see_v see_v it_o by_o experience_n and_o can_v deny_v it_o that_o his_o power_n be_v every_o where_o he_o guide_v all_o thing_n he_o put_v forth_o his_o power_n every_o where_o now_o in_o the_o lord_n see_v there_o be_v no_o faculty_n as_o be_v in_o man_n but_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o he_o be_v himself_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o he_o himself_o must_v be_v in_o every_o place_n where_o he_o do_v any_o thing_n the_o fire_n may_v heat_v afar_o off_o and_o so_o may_v the_o sun_n give_v light_n to_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o yet_o abide_v in_o the_o firmament_n because_o it_o have_v a_o quality_n of_o heat_n and_o light_n but_o almighty_a god_n be_v most_o simple_a there_o be_v no_o composition_n in_o he_o no_o quality_n no_o executive_a power_n but_o he_o be_v himself_o what_o he_o be_v and_o therefore_o what_o he_o do_v be_v do_v by_o himself_o immediate_o immediatione_fw-la suppositi_fw-la as_o the_o schoolman_n express_v it_o last_o i_o add_v 3_o that_o god_n must_v be_v every_o where_o present_a not_o only_o within_o the_o world_n but_o as_o solomon_n express_v it_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n can_v contain_v he_o that_o be_v he_o be_v without_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o within_o it_o because_o we_o can_v deny_v but_o that_o he_o be_v able_a to_o make_v other_o world_n as_o well_o as_o this_o and_o than_o if_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v without_o the_o world_n he_o shall_v move_v himself_o and_o change_v his_o place_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o world_n where_o he_o be_v not_o present_a but_o he_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o change_n of_o any_o motion_n or_o alteration_n of_o place_n only_o one_o caution_n must_v be_v take_v in_o you_o see_v that_o the_o light_n be_v in_o many_o place_n throughout_o the_o world_n but_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v not_o like_a to_o that_o presence_n nor_o the_o presence_n of_o any_o creature_n because_o he_o be_v total_o present_a the_o creature_n be_v not_o so_o but_o according_a to_o the_o part_n of_o they_o one_o part_n here_o another_o there_o but_o god_n be_v without_o all_o part_n whereso_o ever_o he_o be_v he_o must_v be_v total_o there_o therefore_o you_o must_v not_o conceive_v god_n be_v commensurable_a by_o the_o place_n as_o if_o he_o be_v partly_o here_o and_o partly_o in_o another_o place_n but_o he_o be_v every_o where_o all_o present_a the_o heaven_n you_o see_v have_v a_o large_a place_n but_o they_o have_v one_o part_n here_o another_o there_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v total_o present_a wheresoever_o he_o be_v present_a use_v 1_o first_o if_o god_n be_v every_o where_o present_a so_o that_o he_o do_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n by_o a_o mediate_a virtue_n or_o power_n governor_n but_o he_o do_v it_o by_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o essence_n hence_o we_o gather_v first_o that_o he_o govern_v the_o world_n immediate_o for_o though_o there_o be_v mean_n use_v yet_o he_o be_v present_a with_o those_o mean_n other_o king_n must_v needs_o govern_v by_o deputy_n and_o viceroy_n and_o inferior_a magistrate_n of_o justice_n because_o they_o can_v be_v every_o where_o whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o king_n may_v be_v good_a and_o yet_o the_o people_n may_v be_v oppress_v by_o their_o wicked_a instrument_n but_o with_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o so_o but_o he_o guide_v immediate_o and_o be_v every_o where_o present_a he_o need_v no_o deputy_n for_o he_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o information_n as_o king_n be_v but_o see_v all_o with_o his_o own_o eye_n and_o hear_v all_o with_o his_o own_o ear_n and_o again_o he_o use_v
