Latin
IV. Simpliciter vero perfectum est id cui nihil omnino deest, & quod habet omnem excellentiam possibilem. Talis perfectio nulli creaturae competit, sed est proprium naturae divinae attributum. Omnis enim creatura perfectionem habet certam & determinatam, haec illam, ista aliam: sed Deus in se continet quicquid haberi potest perfectionis, nec cogitari potest ulla excellentia cujus natura divina sit expers.
