12 Quer. Thou raises a question from Pauls words to the Athenians, thou was be∣fore condemning them that stole other mens words, and here thou hast stolen a Query, and thou askest what think you did that spiritual Creator, dwell and live in the Athenians consci∣ences or did his glorious person visibly appear in the highest heavens.

Ans. The Athenians to whom Paul spoke worshipped the work of their own hands, as ••his generation doth their own imaginations, and that God whom ignorantly they worshipped at a distance, which God lived in Pauls conscience, Paul declared unto them, and they looked as thou dost carnally, thinking God to be carnal and at a distance, but he ••aid he, was not at a distance from every one of them, for in him they lived, moved, and had their being, and this was the God which Paul preached of, which Creator, we witnesse, lives in the high and holy place, and with him also that is of a humble and a contri••e spirit, and trembleth at his Word.
