Smallness, or rarity, is ascribed to God because He is outside all solidity and distance and penetrates all things without let or hindrance. Indeed, smallness is the elementary cause of all things; for you will never find any part of the world but participates in that quality of smallness. This, then, is the sense in which we must apply this quality to God. It is that which penetrates unhindered unto all things and through all things, energizing in them and reaching to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow; and being a discerner of the desires and the thoughts of the heart, or rather of all things, for there is no creature hid before God. This smallness is without quantity or quality; it is irrepressible, infinite, unlimited, and, while comprehending all things, is itself incomprehensible.
