It belongs to pious and theological prudence so to instruct the Church concerning this attribute of God that nothing of those things remote from the people's capacity be brought to the pulpit; but especially these two are to be inculcated.1.That is always to be attributed to God which is both most perfect and can be perceived by an intellect divinely illuminated.2.That the mind is not to be tormented by those things which fall out to the contrary, but rather to acquiesce in a sane confession of our ignorance, that meanwhile the unimpaired glory of every perfection may remain for God.
Latin
Piae ac Theologicae prudentiae est, de hoc Dei attributo Ecclesiam sic erudire, ut nihil eorum deferatur ad suggestum, quae a plebis captu sunt remota; potissimum autem haec duo inculcentur. 1. Deo id semper esse attribuendum, quod et perfectissimum est & intellectu divinitus colluminato percipi potest. 2. Iis, quae in contrarium incidunt, animum non cruciandum, sed potius in sanita ignorantiae nostrae confessione acquiescendum esse, ut Deo interim illibata omnis perfectionis gloria maneat.
