2. Some are to everlasting, not from everlasting: as Angels, and mens Souls; which had a beginning in time, but shall never end; because they are created of an immortal nature.
2. Some are to euerlasting, not from euerlasting: as Angels, and mens Soules; which had a beginning in time, but shall neuer end; because they are created of an immortall nature.

3. One onely thing, which is indeed Ens Entium, God himselfe, is both from euerlasting and to euerlasting. For he is an vncreated, and eternal subsistence: Alpha, and Omega; that first, and last; that had neither beginning, nor shal haue ending. VVhō Plato call'd 〈non-Latin alphabet〉; and he calls himselfe to Moses, 〈non-Latin alphabet〉. That was, that is, and that is to come; the same for euer.
4. Other things are neither from everlasting, nor to everlasting: for they had a beginning, and shall have an end. Of this sort are all worldly things. God will give them their end as he is Omega, that gave them their creation as he is Alpha. All these things do decay, and shall perish. Mors etiam saxis, nominibusqque venit. Death shall extend the force even upon stones and names.
