- 0:15Speaker 1: Chapter sixty four, Order of the Things to be said
- 0:18Speaker 1: about the Divine Knowledge. In order to refute this error,
- 0:24Speaker 1: and moreover, to show the perfection of the Divine Knowledge,
- 0:28Speaker 1: we must carefully seek the truth about each of the
- 0:30Speaker 1: aforesaid arguments, so as to disprove whatever is contrary to
- 0:35Speaker 1: the truth. In the first place, then we shall show
- 0:39Speaker 1: that the divine intellect knows singulars. Secondly, that it knows
- 0:44Speaker 1: things that actually are not. Thirdly, that it knows future
- 0:50Speaker 1: contingencies with an unerring knowledge. Fourthly, that it knows the
- 0:56Speaker 1: movements of the will. Fifthly, that it knows infinite things.
- 1:02Speaker 1: Sixthly that it knows all the most trivial and petty things. Seventhly,
- 1:08Speaker 1: that it knows all evils and privations or defects. End
