Psalms139:6

Verſ. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderfull for mee] I can hardly conceive of this thine omniſcience, and omnipreſence, but am ready to meaſure thee by my ſelf, and according to mine own module. And indeed, for a creature to beleeve the infinite Attributes of God, hee is never able to do it thoroughly, without ſupernaturall grace.

I[illegible: 1 letter] i[illegible: 1 letter] high, I cannot attain unto it] Sith it far exceedeth the reach of reaſon, and is much above my capacity and underſtanding. I ſtand at gaze, and am agaſt, and that is the neareſt that I a poor finite fooliſh creature can come to ſo infinite a wiſdome. It was therefore a good ſpeech of them who being asked what God was? anſwered, Si ſcirem, Deus eſſem, If I knew that, I ſhould be a God.
