Thus far of the nominal Attributes.

:103p. 24

The real Attributes are of two sorts: either absolute or relative.

These are two: simpleness and infiniteness.

:106p. 24

^aSimpleness is that whereby God is void of all composition, division, multiplication, accidents, or parts compounding, either sensible, or intelligible: so that whatever he is, he is the same essentially.

aIntelligentiae habent aliquid simile materiae, aliquid simile formae. Solus Deus simplex est, in quo nihil in potentia, sed in actu omnia, imò ipse purus, primus, medius, ultimus actus. Scal. Exerc. 6. Sect. 2. Just. Martyr. qu. 129. ad Orthodoxos.
