Chapter 19.—Two Kinds Of Heathen
Knowledge.
29. But to explain more fully
this whole topic (for it is one that cannot be omitted), there are
two kinds of knowledge which are in vogue among the heathen. One
is the knowledge of things instituted by men, the other of things
which they have noted, either as transacted in the past or as
instituted by God. The former kind, that which deals with human
institutions, is partly superstitious, partly not.
