CHAP. IV. Of the Differences between God, and Nature.

GOD is an Eternal Creator; Nature, his Eter∣nal Creature. GOD, an Eternal Master: Na∣ture, GOD's Eternal Servant. GOD is an Infinite and Eternal Immaterial Being: Nature, an Infinite Corporeal Being. GOD is Immovable, and Immu∣table: Nature, Moving, and Mutable. GOD is Eternal, Indivisible, and of an Incompoundable Be∣ing: Nature, Eternally Divisible and Compounda∣ble. GOD, Eternally Perfect: Nature, Eternally Imperfect. GOD, Eternally Inalterable: Nature Eter∣nally Alterable. GOD, without Error: Nature, full of Irregularities. GOD knows exactly, or perfect∣ly, Nature: Nature doth not perfectly know GOD. GOD is Infinitely and Eternally worshipped: Na∣ture is the Eternal and Infinite Worshipper.
