2. God has all life,^a glory,^b goodness,^c blessedness,^d in, and of himself; and is alone in, and unto himself all-sufficient, not standing in need of any creatures which he has made,^e nor deriving any Glory from them,^f but only manifesting his own Glory, in, by, unto, and upon them: He is the alone Fountain of all Being, of whom, through whom, and to whom are all things;^g and, has most Sovereign Dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever himself pleases.^h In his sight all things are open and manifest;ⁱ his knowledge is infinite, infallible, and independent upon the creature,^j so as nothing is to him contingent, or uncertain.^k He is most holy in all his counsels, in all his works, and in all his commands.^l To him is due from Angels and men, and every other creature, whatsoever worship, service, or obedience he is pleased to require of them.^m
