1The contempt of God, which is to know those things of God which are true, ⟨p. 535⟩but not to be moved thereby to love him: or to acknowledge indeed one true God revealed in the Church; but not to be moved thereby to worship him, to trust in him, to fear him, and to love him. For the knowledge of the true God doth not suffice alone, but there must also accompany it an inward motion of the mind to embrace and follow the same; else should the Devils also and the Gentiles have the true knowledge of God, which the Apostle denieth, saying: They are inexcusable, 2because when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, &c.
