One demonstration path is enough — chasing every proof would be endless.
Latin
IX. Id autem melius ostendi non potest, quam prolatis exemplis ejusmodi argumentorum, quae ex se suam produnt evidentiam & necessitatem. Itaque qua ratione commodius id fieri posse existimamus, ex iis quae in hoc mundo aspectabili nostris oculis obversantur, per necessariam & evidentem consequentiam deducere conabimur, Deum esse qui ista produxit: eaque quasi unica demonstratione contenti erimus. Nam argumenta singula persequi, quibus probatur esse summum aliquod numen, infiniti esset operis, & supra nostri instituti modum.
