Secondly , When he faith ,. that the wifdom of God is-higher, longer, deeper and broader then heaven, earth, hell and fea ; We may obferve, That rod isprefent with all his creatures in all places. The wifdom of God is every where therefore God is. Wif- dom is the eye of God, and God is Paid to have feven eyes (that is, many eyes , or a manifold wifdom) running to and.fro thorow the whole earth,Zech.3.9. eap.4. t o, There is one god andFatherofall, who isabove all, and thorow all, and in youall, Eph.4. 6. God is a- bove all ,, not only in regard of power and authority , but of in- fpeEtiorfiand over-fight. God Rands. aloft ,. as upon a watch- tower beholding all that's done below, whether within or without, whether for or against the Church.

A King is virtually. prefent in manyplaces at once,but.not perfonally;,wherefoever his refidence ffemiadivina'is, there his perfon is, and-no where elfe Whereas Gods hands seta eft sutra and eyes, his power and wifdom extend over all perfonally.
