There is the great advantage in proving the existence of God in this way, viz. , by his idea, that we at the same time know what he is, as far as the weakness of our nature allows; for, reflecting on the idea we have of him which is born with us, we perceive that he is eternal, omniscient, omnipotent, the source of all goodness and truth, creator of all things, and that, in fine, he has in himself all that in which we can clearly discover any infinite perfection or good that is not limited by any imperfection.

That God is not corporeal, and does not perceive by means of senses as we do, or will the evil of sin.
