“This confession of the divine omniscience is here extorted from these idolaters, to the honour of God and their own condemnation, who though they knew there is a God in heaven, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secret is hid, yet offered up their prayers and praises to dumb idols, that have eyes and see not, ears and hear not.”

Commentary on the Whole Bible Volume III (Job to Song of Solomon)
“They justify themselves, and, their sins having been artfully concealed, hope to escape punishment for want of proof; but God, who sees and knows all things, will himself be witness against them, and his omniscience is instead of a thousand witnesses, for to it the sinner's own conscience shall be made to subscribe, and so every mouth shall be stopped.”
“If we allow for physics to be discussed in a way where omniscience is possible (by imaging that this embedding is something real), we aren’t doing physics (as it currently stands) anymore.”
