2. The Eye of God.
"All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." (Heb. iv. 13.)
"Pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly." (Matt. vi. 6.)
Seneca (On Providence, 1): "It is no advantage that conscience is shut within us; we lie open to God."
Letter 83: "What advantage is it that anything is hidden from man? Nothing is closed to God: He is present to our minds, and enters into our central thoughts."
Letter 83: "We must live as if we were living in sight of all men; we must think as though some one could and can gaze into our inmost breast."
3. God is a Spirit.
St. Paul, "We ought not to think that the God-head is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device." (Acts xvii. 29.)
Seneca (Letter 31): "Even from a corner it is possible to spring up into heaven: rise, therefore, and form thyself into a fashion worthy of God; thou canst not do this, however, with gold and silver: an image like to God cannot be formed out of such materials as these."
4. Imitating God.
