For the very thing which is desirable in it is the participation of its likeness. Therefore, since God is the first effective cause of
-  all things, it is manifest that the aspect of good and of desirableness belong to Him; and hence Dionysius (Div. Nom. iv) attributes good to God as to the first efficient cause, saying that, God is called good "as by Whom all things subsist."</p>

But as regards absolute things opinions differ. Plato held the existence of separate ideas (<a xml:link="simple" shape="rect" id="FP.ii.FP_Q6.FP_Q6_A4-p5.1" href="#FP.ix.FP_Q84.FP_Q84_A4">Q[84], A[4]</a>) of all things, and that individuals were denominated by them as participating in the separate ideas; for instance, that Socrates is called man according to the separate idea of man. Now
   just as he laid down separate ideas of man and horse which he called absolute man and absolute horse, so likewise he laid down separate ideas of "being" and of "one," and these he called absolute being and absolute oneness; and by participation of these, everything was called "being" or "one"; and what was thus absolute being and absolute one, he said was the supreme good. And because good is convertible with being, as one is also; he called God the absolute good, from whom all things are

   a being, inasmuch as it participates in it by way of a certain assimilation which is far removed and defective; as appears from the above (<a xml:link="simple" shape="rect" id="FP.ii.FP_Q6.FP_Q6_A4-p6.2" href="#FP.ii.FP_Q4.FP_Q4_A3">Q[4], A[3]</a>).</p>

+quod aliud est esse infinitum secundum suam essentiam, et secundum
+magnitudinem. Dato enim quod esset aliquod corpus infinitum
+secundum magnitudinem, utpote ignis vel aer, non tamen esset
+infinitum secundum essentiam, quia essentia sua esset terminata ad
+aliquam speciem per formam, et ad aliquod individuum per materiam.
+Et ideo, habito ex praemissis quod nulla creatura est infinita
+secundum essentiam, adhuc restat inquirere utrum aliquid creatum
+sit infinitum secundum magnitudinem. Sciendum est igitur quod
+corpus, quod est magnitudo completa, dupliciter sumitur, scilicet
+mathematice, secundum quod consideratur in eo sola quantitas; et
+naturaliter, secundum quod consideratur in eo materia et forma. Et
+de corpore quidem naturali, quod non possit esse infinitum in actu,
+manifestum est. Nam omne corpus naturale aliquam formam
+substantialem habet determinatam, cum igitur ad formam
+substantialem consequantur accidentia, necesse est quod ad
+determinatam formam consequantur determinata accidentia; inter quae
+est quantitas. Unde omne corpus naturale habet determinatam
+quantitatem et in maius et in minus. Unde impossibile est aliquod
+corpus naturale infinitum esse. Hoc etiam ex motu patet. Quia omne
+corpus naturale habet aliquem motum naturalem. Corpus autem
+infinitum non posset habere aliquem motum naturalem, nec rectum,
+quia nihil movetur naturaliter motu recto, nisi cum est extra suum
+locum, quod corpori infinito accidere non posset; occuparet enim
+omnia loca, et sic indifferenter quilibet locus esset locus eius.
+Et similiter etiam neque secundum motum circularem. Quia in motu
+circulari oportet quod una pars corporis transferatur ad locum in
+quo fuit alia pars; quod in corpore circulari, si ponatur
+infinitum, esse non posset, quia duae lineae protractae a centro,
+quanto longius protrahuntur a centro, tanto longius distant ab
+invicem; si ergo corpus esset infinitum, in infinitum lineae
+distarent ab invicem, et sic una nunquam posset pervenire ad locum
+alterius. De corpore etiam mathematico eadem ratio est. Quia si
+imaginemur corpus mathematicum existens actu, oportet quod

But the multitude of hammers, inasmuch as
-  one may be broken and another used, is an accidental multitude; for it happens by accident that many hammers are used, and it matters little whether one or two, or many are used, or an infinite number, if the work is carried on for an infinite time.

Hence it is impossible for there to be an actually infinite multitude, either absolute or accidental. Likewise multitude in nature is created; and everything created is comprehended under some clear intention of the Creator;
   for no agent acts aimlessly. Hence everything created must be comprehended in a certain number. Therefore it is impossible for an actually infinite multitude to exist, even accidentally. But a potentially infinite multitude is possible; because the increase of multitude follows upon the division of magnitude; since the more a thing is divided, the greater number of things result.

+igitur modum, posuerunt quod possibile est esse actu multitudinem
+infinitam per accidens. Sed hoc est impossibile. Quia omnem
+multitudinem oportet esse in aliqua specie multitudinis. Species
+autem multitudinis sunt secundum species numerorum. Nulla autem
+species numeri est infinita, quia quilibet numerus est multitudo
+mensurata per unum. Unde impossibile est esse multitudinem
+infinitam actu, sive per se, sive per accidens. Item, multitudo in
+rerum natura existens est creata, et omne creatum sub aliqua certa
+intentione creantis comprehenditur, non enim in vanum agens aliquod
+operatur. Unde necesse est quod sub certo numero omnia creata
+comprehendantur. Impossibile est ergo esse multitudinem infinitam
+in actu, etiam per accidens. Sed esse multitudinem infinitam in
+potentia, possibile est. Quia augmentum multitudinis consequitur
+divisionem magnitudinis, quanto enim aliquid plus dividitur, tanto
+plura secundum numerum resultant. Unde, sicut infinitum invenitur
+in potentia in divisione continui, quia proceditur ad materiam, ut
+supra ostensum est; eadem ratione etiam infinitum invenitur in
+potentia in additione multitudinis.</p>

+not all at once. Likewise the infinite in multitude is reduced to act
+successively, and not all at once; because every multitude can be
+succeeded by another multitude to infinity.</p>
