SECT. V. And in an infinite degree.

To this must be added, that these perfections are in God, in an infinite degree: because those attributes that are finite are therefore limited; because the cause whence they proceed has communicated so much of them, and no more; or else, because the subject was capable of no more. But no other nature communicated any of its perfections to God; nor does he derive any thing from any one else, he being, as was said, necessary or self-existent.
