Nothing exists from eternity but God, and God is not the matter or a part of any creature, but only the maker.

An idea in man is first impressed upon him and afterwards expressed in things, but in God it is only expressed, not impressed, because it does not come from anywhere else.

The good pleasure of God is an act of the divine will freely and effectively determining all things.

The goodness of a thing created is the perfection of its fitness for the use which it serves. Now that use is either particular or universal.

Sanctification is the real change in man from the sordidness of sin to the purity of God's image.

Hearing the word is the devout receiving of the will of God.

The attributes of God tell us what He is and who He is.
