By Nature I understand a being absolutely infinite, i.e., a substance consisting of an infinity of attributes, of which each one expresses an eternal and infinite essence.

Exp.: I say absolutely infinite, not infinite in its own kind; for if something is only infinite in its own kind, we can deny infinite attributes of it {NS: (i.e., we can conceive infinite attributes which do not pertain to its nature)}; but if something is absolutely infinite, whatever expresses essence and involves no negation pertains to its essence.
