5. The Essential Attributes of God are no parts or qualities of the Divine Essence nord Accidents in the Essence, nor a Subject: but the very ewhole and entire Essence of God. So that every such Attribute is no aliud & aliud, another and another thing but one and the same thing. There are therefore no Quantities in God by which he may be said to be so much, and so much, nor Qualities by which he may be said to be such and such: butf whatsoever God is, He is such, and the same by his Essence. By his Essence he is wise, and therefore Wisdom it self: By his Essence he is good and therefore Goodness it self; by his Essence he is merciful, and therefore Mercy it| self: By his Essence he is just, and therefore Justice it self, &c. In a word, God is great without quantity; good, true, and just without quality; merciful without passion; a• act without motion; every where present without sight; without time, the fi•st, and the last: the Lord of all Creatures, from whom allg receive themselves, and a• the good they have; yet neither needed nor receiveth he any increase of goodness or happiness from any other.
