SECT. III. The several inadequate Conceptions which in order make up our Knowledge of God.
21. BY the Knowledge of our own Acts we know our Powers and the Nature of our own souls (though imperfectly); And by the Knowledge of our souls, we know the nature of other Intellectual Spirits; And by the Knowledge of our selves and them, and the Scripture expressions of his Attributes, we know so much of God as we can here know. And accordingly must speak of Him, or be silent: For we have no higher notions, than such as are thus Analogical; expressing that which is in God in an unconceivable eminency and transcendency, by words which first signify that which is formally in the soul (as is said).
