In like manner if any either Protestants, or Papists, have denied foreknowledge to be properly and formally in God, they are to be understood concerning such a foreknowledge, as is found in men, in whom 'tis clothed with many imperfections, from which 'tis abstracted, as it is ascribed unto God. But I shall take a more particular and distinct notice of these two terms Formally and Properly in reference unto the attribution of foreknowledge unto God.
