On the
Nature
of
God.
one
as
much
as
the
other, but they
are all
but
one thing,
onely fevetal manifeflations,
as
but
one
Sun
that
hath di-
vers refieaieras
by
divers glafies;
fo
all Gods
attributes
are
but
one excellency
that
is
in him;
therefore
his
Name
is
ex-
cellent
above
all things, becaufe hee
is
but one God in
this
manner.

Further, Not
only allgood.and
excellency
is in God,
but
all
pofblegood,
what
can
pofbly
bee
imagined
(as
we know
thatthe
power
of
God
that
made the world, could
make
thoufands
of
worlds) all
this
is in
him,
and
infinitely
in
him.
When
wee do fpeak
of
any
thing
to
bee in
God,
wee
muff
be
fure
that
we do
not limit
our
thoughts,
as
when we
fpeak
of
God
to
bee
a
great
God, do
not limit
ir,
hee
is
great
,
but infinitely
fo;
when wee
fpeak
of
his
.
wifdome, hee
is
wife, but infinitely
wife,.
and
fo
of
his
holinefs, and juflice,
and
truth,
and knowledge; all
muff
bee lookt
upon
with-
out
any bounds whatfoever;
in
the Creature there
are fuch
and
fuch
things,
but they
are all
limited
by
their
caufes,
but
God
having
no
caufes
at
all
to limit
him, therefore hee
is
infinite,
whatfoever
is
in
him
it
is
infinitely
in him, whatfo-
'ever
is
in
him,
is
not
onely infinite
in the kinde,
as
there
is
all
thewifdome
and holinefs
that
can
bee;
but
I
fay, it
is
abfolutely infinite;
as
it
is
in him
, it
is
fo
infinite, that
there
is no
kinde
of
being
but
is
included within
it;
fpeak
but
any one thing
of
God,
I
fay,
it
is
not
onely infinite
in
the kinde, but
fo
as
it
includes whatfoever bath beeing,
in
the infinite Ocean of
beeing
that
is
in himfelf; wee
are
very ready when
wee
look upon
God to
have
limited
;thoughts, and therein
wee
bring
him down
to
the Creature;
this
is
the very reafon
why
God
dotb
hate
Images
fo much
as
bee doth,
becaufe
that
Images do
make
a kinde of
a
re-
prefentation
of
hiinh as
though hee were finite;
as
Papifts,
they
tell
us
they think not that
fuch
an Image
is
God,
I,
but
being
put in mind
of
God
by
fuch
an
Image, there is
a
kinde
of
limiting the infinitenefs
that
is
inCod; and
therefore God
hates
it,
and
will
not
have
that
infinite
ex-
celleiicyof:his to
bee
reprefented
by any
Image
wvharfoe
ever;
