The divine life in three treatises

To open this more plainly to you; Unity in Trinity, and Trinity in Unity, is the sum of our holy faith. In the Deity there is revealed to us, One God in three persons, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost; The Essence is but one; the subsistences are three. And as we must conceive and speak of the Divine Nature according to its Image, while we see it but in a glass; so we must say, that in this Blessed Deity in the Unity of Essence, there is a Trinity of Essential properties and Attributes, that is, Power, Wisdom, and Goodness, Life, Light and Love; The measure of which is to have no measure, but to be Infinite. And therefore this Being is Eternal, and not measured by Time, being without Beginning or end: He is Immense, as being not measured by Place, but containeth all places, and is contained in none. He is Perfect, as not Measured by Parts or by Degrees, but quite above Degrees and Parts. This Infiniteness of his Being doth communicate it self, or also consist in the Infiniteness of his Essential properties. His Power is Omnipotency, that ⟨p. 9⟩is, Infinite Power; His Knowledge or wisdom is Omniscience▪ that is, Infinite Wisdom: His Goodness is Felicity it self, or Infinite Goodness.
