CHAPTER TEN.On the simplicity of God.
And these things concerning the second attribute of God: there follows His third attribute.First, simplicity, which is God's highest perfection, by which He is free from every composition.The word SIMPLICITY we borrow from corporeal things.But it is called simplicity because it notes not something positive, but chiefly the negation of composition.
Latin
CAPUT DECIMUM, De simplicitate Dei. Atque haec de secundo Dei attributo: sequitur tertium ejus attributum. I. Simplicitas videlicet, quae est summa Dei perfectio, per quam is ab omni compositione liber est. SIMPLICITATIS vocabulum a rebus corporeis mutuamur. Dicitur autem simplicitas, quia non positivum aliquid, sed negationem compositionis potissimum notat.
