Humans already know singulars.

Cannot strip that from God.

Human knowing = a drop from God’s ocean.

Latin

XV. Sed cum homines ipsi singularia noscant & percipiant, quis cum ratione reliqua, eorum cognitionem Deo adimere poterit? Num enim quidquam homo sciet, quod Deus ignorabit? cum quicquid in homine cognitionis reperitur sit veluti gutta quaedam ex immenso divinae sapientiae Oceano hausta.
