Latin
XXVIII. Inde etiam sequitur omnia Dei attributa esse unum inter se, & cum essentia divina, & distingui non reipsa, sed tantum secundum nostrum concipiendi modum. Nam quia Dei essentia infinita est, & infinite perfecta, tota ejus perfectio a nobis simul concipi non potest, & conceptu uno exhauriri. Ideoque cogimur illam partiri in varios conceptus, quibus respondet una eademque res quae secundum diversos respectus & varias operationes, quibus una per se sufficit, diversimode a nobis consideratur.
