SECT. VI. Of Gods Knowledge, and the Co-existence of the Creature.
88. Augustine well and truly saith, that fore-knowledge in God, is the same with the Knowledge of things present: Past, present and future, through his Infiniteness and Eternity, being alike to him, even all as present.
88. AUgustine well and truly saith, that fore-knowledge in God, is the same with the Knowledge of things present: Past, present and future, through his Infiniteness and Eternity, being alike to him, even all as present.
89. But this dependeth upon the Indivisibility of Eternity: in which all the things of time are included, and co-exist.
90. Thus saith Augustine li. 2. ad Simplic. q. 2. Quid est praescientia nisi scientia futurorum? Quid autem futurum est Deo qui omnia supergreditur tempora? Si enim in scientia res ipsas habet, non sunt ei futurae, sed praesentes: ac per hoc non jam praescientia sed tantum scientia dici potest—Si autem sicut in ordine temporalium creaturarum, ita & apud Deum, nondum sunt quae futura sunt, sed ea praevenit sciendo, bis ergo ea sentit; uno quidem modo secundum futurorum praescientiam, altero verò modo secundum praesentium scientiam: Aliquid ergo temporaliter accedit scientiae Dei. quod absurdissimum atque falsissimum est.
