We know God more perfectly ( says St. Denis - Mystic. Theol. c.1.§.2 ) by Negatives, than by Affermatives. We think more higlhy of God, by knowing that he is incomprehensible, and above all our capacity, than by conceiving him under any image or created beauty, according to our rude understanding. A greater esteem and love then will flow from this confused, obscure and negative, than from any other sensible and distinct way; because that is more proper to God, and abstacted from creatures; and this, on the contrary, the more it depends on creatures, the less it hat of God.
