Two substances, whose attributes are different, have nothing in common 3. Things which have nothing in common cannot be one the cause of the other. Two or more distinct things are distinguished one from the other, either by the difference of the attributes of substance, or by the difference of their modifications. There cannot exist in the universe two or more subtances having the same nature or attribute. One substance cannot be produced by another substance.
Existence belongs to the nature of substance.
Every substance is necessarily infinite 9. The more reality or being a thing has the greater the number of its attributes. Each particular attribute of the one substance must be conceived through itself. God, or substance, consisting of infinite attributes, of which each expresses eternal and infinite essentiality, necessary exists. Therefore God necessarily exists.
