Knowing, then, how widely the Divine nature differs from our own, let us quietly remain within our proper limits. For it is both safer and more reverent to believe the majesty of God to be greater than we can understand, than, after circumscribing His glory by our misconceptions, to suppose there is nothing beyond our conception of it.
οὐκοῦν μαθόντες, ὅσον τῆς φύσεως τὸ διαλλάττον ἐστί, τοῖς ἰδίοις ὅροις δι' ἡσυχίας ἐμμένωμεν. ἀσφαλέστερον γὰρ ἅμα καὶ εὐσεβέστερον πλέον τοῦ νοουμένου τὸ μεγαλοπρεπὲς εἶναι τοῦ θεοῦ πιστεύειν ἤ τισιν ὑπονοίαις τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ περιγράψαντα μηδὲν ὑπὲρ ἐκεῖνο οἴεσθαι.
