The single spirit doth simultaneously temper the whole together; this is the single soul of all things; all are filled with God.
De immenso (1591)
The infinity of All ever bringing forth anew, and even as infinite space]] is around us, so is infinite potentiality, capacity, reception, malleability, matter.
De immenso (1591)
The one infinite is perfect, in simplicity, of itself, absolutely, nor can aught be greater or better, This is the one Whole, God, universal Nature, occupying all space, of whom naught but infinity can give the perfect image or semblance.
De immenso (1591)
The wise soul feareth not death; rather she sometimes striveth for death, she goeth beyond to meet her. Yet eternity maintaineth her substance throughout time, immensity throughout space, universal form throughout motion.
De immenso (1591)
Our philosophy... reduceth to a single origin and relateth to a single end, and maketh contraries to coincide so that there is one primal foundation both of origin and of end. From this coincidence of contraries, we deduce that ultimately it is divinely true that contraries are within contraries; wherefore it is not difficult to compass the knowledge that each thing is within every other.
