Psalms115:16

Verſ. 16 The Heaven, even the heavens are the Lords] As the ſpeciall place of his delight and dwelling; yet not ſo as if hee were there cooped up and concluded; for God is immenſe and omnipreſent, yea totally preſent, whereſoever preſent. The Heavens have a large place, but they have one part here, and another there, Not ſo the Lord; hee is not commenſurable by the place, but every where all-preſent.

But the Earth hath hee given] Or, let out, as to his Tenants at will, for he hath not made them abſolute owners to do therein what they will, and to live as they liſt; Yee have lived in pleaſure on the Earth, and been wanton, Jam. 5.5. A heavy charge. Calvin tells of a looſe fellow that uſed in his cups to alledge this text.
