It thus happens that we possess sufficient intelli- gence to know clearly and distinctly that this power is in God, but not enough to comprehend how he leaves the free actions of men indeterminate ; and, on the other hand, we have such consciousness of the liberty and indifierence PAKT I. 211 which exists in ourselves, that there is nothing we more clearly or perfectly comprehend : [^so that the omnipotence of God ought not to keep us from believing it]. For it would be absurd to doubt of that ...of wlilch we are fully conscious, and which we experience as existing in ourselves, because we do not comprehend another matter which, from its very nature, we know to be incomprehensible.
XLII. How, although we never will to err, it is never- theless by our will that we do err.
But now since we know that all our errors depend upon our will, and as no one wishes to deceive himself, it may seem wonderful that there is any error in our judgments at all. It is necessary to remark, however, that there is a great difference between willing to be deceived, and willing to yield assent to opinions in which it happens that error is found.
