For the meaning of “eternity,” they will not have it to be an endless succession of time, for then they should not be able to render a reason how God’s will, and preordaining of things to come, should not be before His prescience of the same, as the efficient cause before the effect, or agent before the action; nor of many other their bold opinions concerning the incomprehensible nature of God. But they will teach us that eternity is the standing still of the present time, a nunc-stans , as the schools call it; which neither they nor any else understand, no more than they would a hic-stans for an infinite greatness of place.
