God is Jehovah call'd: which name of His
Implies or Essence, or the He that Is.

But what God is we cannot show.

Another Of God.

God's said to leave this place, and for to come
Nearer to that place than to other some,
Of local motion, in no least respect,
But only by impression of effect.

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