| In-Text | If we enquire after the Substance or Essence of God, we are told indeed, John iv. 24. That he is a Spirit, and so are Angels and Souls: but what vast Distance there is between that Self-Existent, and these created Spirits; alas, what human Understanding can comprehend? When we speak but of created Spirits, how little is it that we know of them? We learn indeed from the Operations of our own Minds, that Thinking and Liberty belong to Spirits, but all our Attempts beyond this, look little better than ingenious Guesses, and fancyful Amusements. | If we inquire After the Substance or Essence of God, we Are told indeed, John iv. 24.
