Nor to say He is in this or that “place”; for whatsoever is in place, is bounded, and finite:

Nor that He is “moved,” or “resteth”; for both these attributes ascribe to Him place:

Nor that there be more gods than one; because it implies them all finite: for there cannot be more than one infinite:

Nor to ascribe to Him, (unless metaphorically, meaning not the passion but the effect,) passions that partake of grief; as “repentance,” “anger,” “mercy”: or of want; as “appetite,” “hope,” “desire”; or of any passive faculty; for passion is power limited by somewhat else.

And therefore when we ascribe to God a “will,” it is not to be understood, as that of man, for a “rational appetite”; but as the power by which He effecteth everything.
