God's knowledge, and Man's knowledge, the diffe∣rence
in event of things. [ XVIII]
IN a sheet-Almanack,* 1.1 and man may uno intuntu, at one view, see all the months in the year, both past and to come; but in a book-Almanack, as he turneth to one
month, so he turneth from another, and can but look onely on the present. This is
the true difference betwixt the knowledge of God and Man;* 1.2 he looketh in one in∣stant
of time to things past, present, and future;* 1.3 but the knowledge of Man reacheth
onely to a few things past, and present, but knoweth nothing at all of things that
are to come, that's God's peculiar so to do, and a piece of Learning too high for
any mortall man to attain unto.
