<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>.
