Things could not have been brought into being by God in any manner or in any order different from that which has in fact obtained.

Nothing in the universe is contingent, but all things are conditioned to exist and operate in a particular manner by the necessity of the divine nature.

Nothing exists from whose nature some effect does not follow.

Individual things are nothing but modifications of the attributes of God, or modes by which the attributes of God are expressed in a fixed and definite manner.
