85. Obj. Futurity is the Object of Gods knowledge; and the object is a †cause of the act. God knoweth things to be future, because they are future; as he knoweth existents, because they exist.
- †To the Question, An praescientia Dei sit Causata à rebus? Bonavent. answereth (in 1. dist. 38. q. 1. a. 1.) Praescita Causa sunt praescientiae Divinae, non essendi, sed aut Inserendi, aut Dicendi—Secundum rationem essendi Praescientia potest esse Causa aliquorum praescitorum, licet non omnino: sed nullo modo è converso. Secundum rationem Inferendi sunt mutuo causae, quia mutuo antecedunt & consequuntur: & antecedens est causa consequentis. Secundum rationem Dicendi, futurum est causa praescientiae, & non è converso: Nam praescientia, dicitur scientia ante rem: constat ergo quod importat ordinem ad posterius: & si scitum esset semper praesens, esset scientia, sed non praescientia. Bonavent. 1. dist. 38. dub. 3. saith, Gods knowledge called Approbation connoteth & effectum & bonita•em: but when it is called simplex Notitia, it connoteth only the event, but in it self is one. Thus denominations by Connotation and relation may be many ways diversified, both of Knowledge and Will.To the Question, An praescientia Dei sit Causata à rebus?
