SECT. VI. That God is eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, and completely good.

Now, seeing it is very evident that those things which have life are more perfect than those which have not; and those which have a power of acting, than those which have none; those which have understanding, than those which want it; those which are good, than those which are not so; it follows, from what has been already said, that these attributes belong to God, and that infinitely: wherefore he is a living infinite God; that is, eternal, of immense power, and every way good, without the least defect.
