God's Presence.

God's present everywhere, but most of all
Present by union hypostatical:
God, He is there, where's nothing else, schools say,
And nothing else is there where He's away.

God's evident, and may be said to be
Present with just men, to the verity;
But with the wicked if He doth comply,
'Tis, as St. Bernard saith, but seemingly.

That there's a God we all do know,
But what God is we cannot show.

God, in the holy tongue, they call
The place that filleth all in all.

God is more here than in another place,
Not by His essence, but commerce of grace.

God is all fore-part; for, we never see
Any part backward in the Deity.
