86 Some of the Attributes of God are incommunicable to the Creature; a Creature cannot be Infinite, Eternal, Absolute, and independently Perfect, &c. but others are communicable, yea communicated in measure: yet these are so little possest and expressed by Creatures, that the Scripture makes them peculiarly God's: for 'tis not only said, there is no God beside him, but that there is none good but God, Matth. 19.27. That he is the only Potentate, 1 Tim. 6.15. that he is only wise, 1 Tim. 1.17. and that he only hath immortality, 1 Tim. 6.16. So that Creatures have great reason to be thankful for, but none to be proud of, whatever Excellency God hath imparted to them, Jer. 9.24. 1 Cor. 1.30, 31.
