The fourth (and last) volume of discourses, or sermons, on several scriptures

2. Secondly, From the Infiniteness of his Perfections.

Arg. 1. First, From the Infiniteness of God's Nature or Essence. That Nature, which is infinite, cannot be bounded or limited; but God's Nature is infinite, therefore it cannot be bounded; but if God were only present in the World and did not exist infinitely beyond it, then his Being and Nature could not be infinite as a Spirit is infinite; therefore if God should be included in the World, he would also be but infinite as the World.

Arg. 2. Secondly, From the Infiniteness of his Perfections, we may argue thus: That which is infinitely perfect, must be infinitely great, but God is infinitely perfect; so that there is no Perfection which we can imagine but is eminently in God, therefore he must be infinitely great, so as there can be no space which we can imagine, but he must be present in it: But we can imagine an infinite space beyond this World, therefore God is there, because there is no Perfection imaginable which God hath not. Whatever is infinitely perfect, must be infinitely great, as appears from this, because the greater a thing is, the more perfect it is of that same kind, as a great piece of Gold is more excellent than a less; and therefore from this Perfection of God, it appears, that he is every-where, he being all Perfection.
