109. On the other side, saith Rada, Though Intensively nothing is added 1to God, yet Extensively we must say, that entity and perfection in the Creature is so added, as that God and the Creature are More than God alone; because else we must say, either that God and the World are one, or else that the World is Nothing, or hath no Being: which is false.

If we should say, that the Entity of the Creature being but Analogical Entity, is no Addition to Gods being, Ens non dicitur Univoce de Deo & Creaturis; as the Scotists deny the antecedent, so it hardly satisfieth the mind: Because even this Analogical Entity is real positive Entity, and not nothing: And therefore though it add not Deity, it seemeth to add Entity; and both sorts to be more than One alone.
