Secondly, Physically and a part rei, there is a greater distance between God and the creature, then there is between any creatures; for 'tis an infinite distance. This is all which is proved by that reason of Bannes in 1. par. Thom. Q. 13. Art. 5. That all created perfections in comparison of uncreated, are but painted and umbratic, the best of created beings in comparison of God are but shadows and pictures, Isaiah 40. 17. All nations before him are as nothing, and they are counted to him less then nothing. Omnis perfectio creata comparatione ad increatam perfectionem, est quasi depicta & umbratica, Ergo &c.

The major of your Syllogism put into form, and placed in the second place, to wit, (If prescience or foreknowledge being properly and formally in the creature, should be properly and formally also in God, there should be somewhat in the creature univocally & formally the same with somewhat that is in God) will generally be denied by Thomists, who will acquaint you with a middle kind of predication, betwixt equivocal and univocal, to wit, analogical, according unto which they affirm those attributes to be predicated, which denominate both God and the creature. In 1. part. Thom. Q. 13. Art. 5. They instance in Ens, which is properly and formally predicated of God and the creature, and yet neither univocally nor equivocally but analogically, analogià quae est per attributionem intrinsecam, and not only analogia proportionis, as laughter is affirmed of a man and a green or flourishing meadow; nor yet only analogia attributionis quae fit per extrinsecam denominationem, as when health is predicated of a sensitive creature in the first place, as the subject in which it is seated, and of meats, drinks, medicaments, urines, secondarily, in reference unto, and by extrinsical denomination from that health which is in a sensitive creature, unto which they are referred either as causes or tokens of it: see Suarez, Scheibler, Morisanus, Logic: Mexic.
