For if he means the former, that does not follow, as is evident. Most created bodies are not composite in this sense, so how could it be necessary to say that the Creator is composite in this sense? This is undisputed. He himself concedes that explicitly describing Him as a body does not entail this kind of composition, since it plainly does not follow.

But if by composition he means distinction, such as the distinction between His right and His left, he is told: “We do not concede that composition in this sense entails parts, for this rests on affirming the existence of an indivisible part. The dispute concerning this is well known, and you have stated that astute thinkers have suspended judgment on the matter. If it has not been established that created bodies contain actual parts, this cannot necessarily be true of the Creator.”
