will_v express_v of_o all_o these_o attribute_n we_o must_v hold_v these_o general_a rule_n 1_o no_o attribute_n can_v sufficient_o express_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n because_o it_o be_v infinite_a and_o ineffable_a whatsoever_o therefore_o be_v speak_v of_o god_n be_v not_o god_n but_o serve_v rather_o to_o help_v our_o weak_a understanding_n to_o conceive_v in_o our_o reason_n and_o to_o utter_v in_o our_o speech_n the_o majesty_n of_o his_o divine_a nature_n so_o far_o as_o he_o have_v vouchsafe_v to_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o we_o in_o his_o word_n 2_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o

essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n differ_v not_o from_o his_o essence_n because_o they_o be_v so_o in_o the_o essence_n that_o they_o be_v the_o very_a essence_n itself_o zanch._n in_o god_n therefore_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o be_v not_o either_o his_o essence_n or_o a_o person_n 4_o the_o essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n differ_v not_o essential_o nor_o real_o one_o from_o another_o because_o whatsoever_o be_v in_o god_n be_v one_o most_o simple_a essence_n and_o one_o admit_v no_o division_n but_o only_a in_o our_o reason_n and_o understanding_n which_o be_v not_o able_a to_o know_v earthly_a thing_n by_o one_o simple_a act_n without_o the_o help_n of_o many_o distinct_a act_n must_v of_o necessity_n have_v the_o help_n of_o many_o distinct_a act_n to_o know_v the_o incomprehensible_a god._n therefore_o to_o speak_v proper_o there_o be_v not_o in_o god_n many_o attribute_n but_o oppositio_fw-la one_o only_a which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o divine_a essence_n itself_o by_o what_o attribute_n soever_o you_o call_v it_o but_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o reason_n they_o be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o many_o different_a attribute_n for_o our_o 6._o understanding_n conceive_v by_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n a_o thing_n differ_v from_o that_o which_o be_v call_v justice._n the_o essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n be_v not_o therefore_o real_o inseparable_a 5_o the_o essential_a attribute_n of_o god_n be_v not_o part_n or_o quality_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n nor_o accidentalia_fw-la accident_n in_o the_o essence_n as_o in_o a_o subject_n but_o the_o very_a deus_fw-la whole_a and_o entire_a essence_n of_o god_n so_o that_o every_o such_o attribute_n be_v not_o aliud_fw-la &_o aliud_fw-la another_o and_o another_o thing_n but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n there_o be_v therefore_o no_o quantity_n in_o god_n by_o which_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v so_o much_o and_o so_o much_o nor_o quality_n by_o which_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v such_o and_o such_o but_o 5._o whatsoever_o god_n be_v he_o be_v such_o and_o the_o same_o by_o his_o essence_n by_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v wise_a and_o therefore_o wisdom_n itself_o by_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v god_n and_o therefore_o goodness_n itself_o by_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v merciful_a and_o therefore_o mercy_n itself_o by_o his_o essence_n he_o be_v just_a and_o therefore_o justice_n itself_o etc._n etc._n in_o a_o word_n god_n be_v great_a without_o quantity_n good_a true_a and_o just_a without_o quality_n merciful_a without_o passion_n a_o

and_o not_o according_a to_o those_o gross_a and_o blasphemous_a imagination_n which_o natural_o arise_v in_o man_n brain_n as_o when_o they_o conceive_v god_n to_o be_v like_o a_o old_a man_n sit_v

of_o this_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n make_v many_o to_o make_v a_o idol_n of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n why_o so_o many_o do_v profess_v all_o other_o part_n of_o god_n
