He is not the soul of Nature, nor any part of Nature. He inhabits eternity: He dwells in a high and holy place: heaven is His throne, not his vehicle, earth is his footstool, not his vesture.

And even if we should attempt such an ontological procedure, some idea of the Being of the whole must be presupposed.
