The Gospel treasury opened, or, The holiest of all unvailing discovering yet more the riches of grace and glory to the vessels of mercy unto whom onely it is given to know the mysteries of that kingdom and the excellency of spirit, power, truth above letter, forms, shadows / in several sermons preached at Kensington & elswhere by John Everard ; whereunto is added the mystical divinity of Dionysius the Areopagite spoken of Acts 17:34 with collections out of other divine authors translated by Dr. Everard, never before printed in English.

CHAP. IV. That He that is eminently the Cause of all sensible things, is yet no sensible thing at all.

1. VVE say therefore, That the Cause of all things, and that which is above all things, is neither void of, nor without Essence, nor Life, nor Reason, nor Mind.

2. Neither is it A Body, nor hath it shape, nor Form, nor Quality, nor Quantity, nor Bigness: neither is it in Place, nor is it Seen, nor hath it any Sensible touch.

3. It neither Perceiveth by Sense, nor is it Per∣ceivable by Sense; it hath neither Disorder nor Trouble, as if it were Agitated by material Pas∣sions.

4. It is neither Impotent, as subject to sensible Passions or Accidents; neither is in Any want, or Indigence of light (neither needs it any Light to see By, or Withal.)

5. It hath neither Alteration, nor Corruption, nor Division, nor Privation, nor Flux (or a Con∣tinual flowing and Succession of Parts) nor any other Sensible thing: Nor is it Any of all these.
