Walaeus: it need not be a third species, for it belongs to simple intelligence
In the same place, however, he warns that this hypothetical knowledge need not be set up as a third kind of knowledge, since it belongs to the knowledge of simple intelligence.
'It is absolutely necessary,' he says, 'that God from eternity surveyed all the possible ways in which second causes act, alone or together with others. So he also surveyed what would infallibly happen or not happen given each particular hypothesis: if he produced those causes, preserved them, and concurred with them in this or that way, or arranged them in this or that way, or allowed them to be arranged. No Christian will deny this.'
Latin
XXIX. Ibidem vero monet non esse necessarium, ut haec scientia hypothetica statuatur tertia aliqua species scientiae; quia illa ad scientiam simplicis intelligentiae pertinet. Nam illud, inquit, est absolute necessarium, ut Deus omnes modos possibiles causarum secundarum, sive solae, sive cum aliis agant, ab aeterno conspexerit, ac proinde quid ex unaquaque certa hypothesi posita infallibiliter fieret, vel non fieret, si causas illas produceret, eas conservaret, & cum eis hoc aut illo modo concurreret, vel hoc aut illo modo disponeret, aut disponi sineret. Hoc nemo Christianus negabit.
