II. God hath 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 hath 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;^gand hath most sovereign dominion over them, to do by them, for them, or upon them whatsoever himself pleaseth.^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
