5. V. (3.) IF we look into the HIOIV ScriptuTeS, and
consider the Reprelentations piren us there ot G0d or his
Attributes, e TalI And them generally of the lame Hacure,
and plainls borron d From some relemblance to thines, with
trhich re arc acquainted by our Senses. Thus when theHO.
Iy Scriptures peak oF G0d, they aleribe Hanas, and P Ves.
and sicet co him: not thac it is delion d re ould beliere,
ehat hehas anr ot these plembers accordine to the literal
benification; but the meanine is, that he haS a POIEE 10
execute all chole ACts, to the effectins of rhich chese Parts
in usare instrumental: that is, he can converse mich Men, 25
Well as it hehad a Tonoue and Mouth; He ean discern aH
that me door (aV, a5 perfectly as it he had P.res and FaES;
he can reach us as well, as il he had Ilands and beet; he
has as true and substantial a Beine, as il he had a B0dY:
and heis as truly present erery irtiere, as il chat Body vere
infinicels excended. And in truth, il al these thines, irhich
are thus alcribdrotim, did really and licerally belone to

Aster the same manner, and for the Tame reason, we find
him represented as affected rich such Passions as me perceire
to be in our selres, viz. asanerr and pleas d, as lorine and
hacins, as reventins and chaneins his Relolutions, 25 FuII

thac he will as cerrainiy punith the Wicked, as il he Were
inslam d with ehe Pastion ot Anger aeainst them: That he
riil as intalsibly remard che 600d, a5 we will chole For

frecable to rhe Dirine Commands, he rill a5 Surely change

And as the Nature and Pastions of Men are thuS By ANa-
J0oy and Comparison alcribd to G0d, becouse these ouid
in usbe the Principles of such ourmaro Actions, as we see
