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.
Thus with Augustine Nothing is future to God, lest the after-knowledge of things as present, seem an addition to the first. And if this be true, then futurity had no eternal Cause.
