Is there a reason for Spinoza to define God as an infinite substance?

I've read through the first part of Spinoza's Ethics, where he presents his ontological argument and his ideas about the nature of God, and understood the gust of it. However, I noticed that Spinoza takes that definition of God kind of for granted and doesn't provide much arguments for it. So, does he give any arguments for that definition of God elsewhere or does he just takes it for granted and goes on from there?

The identification of God as substance, absolutely infinite, etc., so as to satisfy the demands of the ontological and cosmological arguments, is the typical way of identifying God in the tradition of natural theology. So in that regard, Spinoza presumably doesn't see that there's anything noteworthy on this point that needs defense.
