fore the better to expreſs my ſelf I ſay, that as to the truth, of
<
lb

which Mathematical demonſtrations give us the knowledge, it is
<
lb

the ſame, which the divine wiſdom knoweth; but this I muſt grant
<
lb

you, that the manner whereby God knoweth the infinite

<

ſitions, of which we underſtand ſome few, is highly more excellent
<

than ours, which proceedeth by ratiocination, and paſſeth from

<

cluſion to concluſion, whereas his is done at one ſingle thought or

intuition; and whereas we, for example, to attain the knowledg
<
lb

of ſome paſſion of the Circle, which hath infinite, beginning
<
lb

from one of the moſt ſimple, and taking that for its definition,
<
lb

do proceed with argumentation to another, and from that to a
<
lb

third, and then to a fourth,

the Divine Wiſdom, by the
<
lb

apprehenſion of its eſſence comprehends, without temporary
<
lb
/>
ocination, all theſe infinite paſſions; which notwithſtanding, are
<
lb

in effect virtually compriſed in the definitions of all things; and, to
<
lb

<

conclude, as being infinite, perhaps are but one alone in their nature,
<

and in the Divine Mind; the which neither is wholly unknown to
<

humane underſtanding, but onely be-clouded with thick and

<

<

groſſe miſts; which come in part to be diſſipated and clarified,
<
lb

when we are made Maſters of any concluſions, firmly
<
lb

ſtrated, and ſo perfectly made ours, as that we can ſpeedily run
<
lb

through them; for in ſum, what other, is that propoſition, that
<
lb

the ſquare of the ſide ſubtending the right angle in any triangle,
<
lb
/>
is equal to the ſquares of the other two, which include it, but
<
lb

onely the Paralellograms being upon common baſes, and between
<
lb

parallels equal amongſt themſelves? </
s

<
s

<
lb

ſame, as to ſay that thoſe two ſuperficies are equal, of which
<
lb

equal parts applyed to equal parts, poſſeſſe equal place? </

<

theſe inferences, which our intellect apprehendeth with time and a

gradual motion, the Divine Wiſdom, like light, penetrateth in
<
lb

an inſtant, which is the ſame as to ſay, hath them alwayes
<
lb

ſent: I conclude therefore, that our underſtanding, both as to
<
lb

the manner and the multitude of the things comprehended by us,
<
lb

is infinitely ſurpaſt by the Divine Wiſdom; but yet I do not ſo
<
lb

vilifie it, as to repute it abſolutely nothing; yea rather, when I
<
lb
/>
conſider how many and how great miſteries men have underſtood,
<
lb

diſcovered, and contrived, I very plainly know and underſtand
<
lb

the mind of man to be one of the works, yea one of the moſt
<

cellent works of God.</
