SECT. VIII. More of Gods Fore-knowledge, and of Permission of Sin.
140. But to leave this Wilderness, and speak more of things certain, or such as belong to us in our measure to know: It is certainly unknown to mortals, formally, what knowledge is in God (as is aforesaid), and much more in what Manner he knoweth either Futures or Contingents, or any Creatures, ex parte scientis.
140. BUt to leave this Wilderness, and speak more of things certain, or such as belong to us in our measure to know: It is certainly unknown to mortals, formally, what knowledge is in God (as is aforesaid), and much more in what Manner he knoweth either Futures or Contingents, or any Creatures, ex parte scientis.
