God, the Ayre is limitted his place; but God his center is every where, and his circumference no where: the Hea∣ven of Heavens cannot contayne him: he is in Heaven in his Majesty, in Earth by his providence, in Hell by his judgments: his omnipresence should teach me reverence and sincerity.
2. The Ayre is like to God, in this: tis present every where, but seene no where.
3. The Ayre in some places is darke and terrible: in some places light and comfortable: So is God, to some terrible in his judgements, to some comfortable in his presence and promises, mercies, and favours.
4. If a man doe but open his mouth, the ayre fils it: so if we open our mouth to God, and pray in faith, God hath promised to fill it.
5. If a man be buried in the earth, the ayre leaves him, and he putrifies and rots: so those men are wholy earthly minded, suncke under earthly cares, buried in earthly desires, and in worldly hopes, God leaves them and they rot, decay, and perish.
6. A man that hath good ayre, is in possibility of health and chearefulnes: but hee that enioyes communi∣on with God, hath certainty of soules health, and shall have so much comfort first or last, as shal exceed world∣lings.
