8. W. BISHOP.
But this shall appeare yet much more perspiciously, if we doe well weigh what they teach touching the very nature of the God-head it selfe. Whosoeuer denies God to be almighty, or presumes to limite the infinite power of God, within the com∣passe of mans weake vnderstanding, he in effect makes him no God at all, but some meane creature of a limitted strength and power: such be all Protestants, who affirme that God cannot set a body in the world, without a circumscribed place;
* 1.1 nor any one body in many places at once, with such like: the which (because they cannot, out of the dulnesse of their witte, or will not of frowardnesse, conceiue to be in nature possible) they flatly denie God to be able to doe: yea, some of them were so blind
* 1.2 and bold, as to auouch God, not to be able to conceiue or vnderstand, how that is possible; which notwithstanding very naturall Philosophie teacheth to haue no repugnance in it selfe, as in his place I haue prooued.
