HE understandeth that knowledge of God, whereby we conceive not only that there is a God, but also know ⟨p. 2⟩that which is profitable for his glory, and that which is expedient for us to know. And sith there are two kinds thereof, the one, whereby we acknowledge §1the Creator: the other whereby §2we apprehend the redeemer, but these things being reserved to some other place: now he entreateth only of the first, the sum whereof is, that without him is no goodness any where to be sought for: But in him, we repose all perfection and whole felicity.
