Whose Original is without beginning, and Eternity without end. Whose Attributes are incomprehen∣sible, and whose Power exceeds all expres∣sion. Whose Essence no thought can com∣prehend; though men given deeply to meditate use to express it by Signs and Ex∣amples. No Man can know more of God than he hath pleased to reveal of himself.

God is the Excellent, Great, Wise, Knowing, Mo∣derator, Powerful, Sagacious, Nimble, Great, who sits upon his Throne honour'd with his Being, who pierceth into all places with his knowledge: who created Man, and knows whatsoever his Soul inspir'd into him: not a leaf doth fall without his privity, neither doth a grave lye hid in darkness, whether green or drie, which is not to be found in the Books.
