The term Formally may be opposed unto either Eminently, or Extrinsical denominations.

First unto Eminently. Perfections are either secundum quid, in certo genere, after a sort, in such a kind, or else simply such.
The former do so essentially imply some imperfection, limitation, or composition, as that they cannot possibly be abstracted therefrom, and therefore are ascribed unto God only eminently or virtually.
The former doe so essentially imply some imperfection, limitation, or composition, as that they cannot possibly be abstracted therefrom, and therefore are ascribed unto God only eminently or vertually.
But now the latter do include no imperfection, or repugnancy with, or opposition unto any greater, or equal perfection. And these perfections are ascribed unto God Formally, as you may see proved by Suarez Met. Disp: 30. Sect. 1. num. 8. 9. De perfectionibus ergo simpliciter dicendum est, omnes esse in Deo formaliter, quia in suo formally conceptu nullam imperfectionem, sed puram perfectionem involvunt, neque inter se repugnantiam includunt, unde sic illas habere, id est, formaliter, melius est, quam aliquà earum carere, & ideo de ratione Entis summe perfecti in totâ latitudine Entis est, ut has omnes perfectiones formaliter includat. Add in his perfectionibus non posse cogitari altiorem modum continendi illas, quam formaliter, quia intra suam formalem rationem, nec limitationem, nec imperfectionem includunt, neque altior gradus Entis excogitari potest, quam ille, ad quem hae formals perfections pertinent, qualia sunt vivere, sapere & alia hujusmodi.
