Objection: God is called wise, just, merciful — are those accidents?
In us those names mark accidents; in God they name the essence itself.
One essence, many names — no single word holds that perfection.
Latin
XVI. At inquies, nonne Deo accidentia multa tribuuntur, veluti sapientia, justitia, bonitas, misericordia, & his similia, unde denominatur sapiens, justus, misericors, & bonus? Respondeo omnia ista non dici eodem modo de Deo, & de nobis. Nam nomina illa in rebus creatis accidentia quaedam notant: sed in Deo designant ipsam illius essentiam, quae propter omnimodam suam perfectionem, & varias operationes, varia sortitur nomina: quoniam unico nomine tanta perfectio significari non potest, nec uno conceptu concipi.
