Book excerpt: ... so that by means of the visible it becomes clear and unknown, I will add: according to the Mosaic Scripture, asserting that after heaven man was created on the fifth day, by this word, without speaking aloud, we also affirm that five days before this day heaven had not yet been; the distance of time that takes place after something precedes it determines the existence of what is thought to be former before. If, by way of an example of this, we have not sufficiently understood our thought, then we can imagine what we took for granted, saying that the law was given through Moses after four hundred and thirty years from the promise to Abraham. If, having returned from the law and having flowed with thought the time preceding it, we have reached the limit of the named number of years, then we clearly understand that until now the promise of God has not yet been.
