Thirdly, we must know, that this diuine essence is infinite in all perfecti∣on. The which perfection is seene in his properties, which are not pro∣perly in God, who is all essence and no qualities: for whatsoeuer is in God, is God, but according to the capacity of our shallow vnderstanding: nei∣ther
doe they differ from his essence, nor one from another; for God is one, and of a most simple nature, admitting no diuision into parts, fa∣culties or properties, nor yet any essentiall distinction, but onely in our comprehension or maner of vnderstanding. So as we must not take his properties to be any parts of his essence, seeing euery essentiall propertie is his whole essence, and therefore howsoeuer distinguished in respect of his diuers manner of working towards the creatures, yet not in themselues, but are inseparable one from another. In which respect, the wisedome of God, is the wise God; the power of God, the powerfull God; and so in the rest. And his wisedome, power, mercy, goodnesse, iustice, truth, are all one in their essence, there being in God but one most simple and pure act, vnto which, diuers names are giuen in the Scriptures, to shew vnto vs how it is diuersly exercised towards the creatures.
