Nothing can make itself or bring itself into being. Therefore there must be some being that has no cause, that depends upon no other, never was produced by any other, but was what he is from eternity, cannot be otherwise, and is what he is, not by will but by nature, necessarily existing and always existing without any capacity or possibility ever not to be.
