Creature perfections: bounded sphere of force.

Divine perfections: no limit at all.

Not only every perfection — every grade without limitation.

Latin

XXIII. Adde quod perfectiones quae rebus creatis insunt, includuntur certis terminis ultra quos non extenduntur. Omnique earum vis & activitas certam habet sphaeram quam transgredi non valet. Sed divinae perfectiones omni prorsus limite carent. Nec Deus tantum omnem perfectionem habet: sed omnem omnis perfectionis gradum absque ulla limitatione.
