...most singular and most separate unity of God, nay, the most eminent and impartible supere-ssence; Existence, unproducible and most constant. Necessity, greatest and incontestable. Actuality, most pure; Simplicity, highest; Subsistence, everywhere independent and entirely solitary. Priority, supra-temporal. Truth, most excellent. Goodness, primary and the cause of the rest. Here is the infinite power of God: absolute Wisdom, and individual knowledge, multifarious providence, Intellect most full of Ideal reasons. Will, unexcitable from elsewhere and in no way envious. Depth, incomprehensible and ineffable; action, essential without time and subject. Here in God is the Word conceived and produced: Co-essential and co-eternal, through Whom all things are made. Here in God is the contention of all things by eminence. Here in God is the efficacy of faith for acting; here is the production of all things from God, and their constant preservation. The emanation of spirits; the foundation of matter; the new, voluntary, and perfect creation of the world. Here is the dependence and efficiency of all things from God; here is the lying of all things under God; here is the tending of all things toward God; here is the intellection and illumination of all things through God. Here is the number, arrangement, consent, conscience, and colloquy of spirits; here is the multitude of souls, their incorporeality, immortality, momentaneous Intellection, translation, depuration, the true clarity of emersions; the reward for merits, the punishment for demerit; the commendation of virtues, the detestation of vices. Wherefore, since universal Philosophy leads to Happiness, this [work] produces it, insofar as, preaching so many marks of God, it draws [one] into His love. Love of this kind is accompanied by attainment, but attainment by fruition, of which whole beatitude consists, which was the one opinion of the Princes of wisdom. Which, along with the rest, we shall hasten to complete, if the present endeavor, such as it is, does not displease learned minds, and especially those to whom it pertains, which will be no small incentive for the edition already made into universal logic, and for the composition of a paraphrase into the rest of Philosophy.
