Infinitude chiefly as immensity (place) and eternity (time)
Every attribute is infinite — yet two foci stand out.
No place-bound, no time-bound: greatness without end; duration without start/end.
Prior = immensity; posterior = eternity — treat immensity first.
Latin
II. Sed quamvis Dei infinitas per omnia ejus attributa aequaliter fusa sit, nec quicquam sit in Deo quod non sit infinitum: illa tamen solet in duobus praecipue considerari, nempe in eo quod nullis nec loci, nec temporis limitibus circumscribatur, sed sit longe supra omne tempus & locum: adeo ut ejus magnitudo terminum non habeat, nec duratio principium, aut finem. Quae prior infinitas immensitas vocatur; posterior autem aeternitas: de quibus utraque seorsim agendum est: atque nunc quidem de priori.
