That knowledge of God, which is in the creatures, if it be compared with that, whereby God understandeth and knoweth himself, is to be accounted imperfect, but if we respect degrees thereof, some of it is perfect, some imperfect, not simply but in comparison, that is, in respect of the inferior or superior degree.

7. That is perfect, whereby the blessed angels & men in heaven know God by excellent vision or beholding of mind, as much as is sufficient for conformity of the reasonable creature with God.
