XXXII. Multa homini ignota.

However, the same man is as if he stands from above down to his roots in the waters of the abyss, so that he also stands above the abyss; this signifies that the strength of God and the marvelous life is hidden, as if in plants that cannot be seen, namely in those secrets that are not to be known by man, just as in the waters of the abyss; for just as there are many things in the higher realms that are unknown, so too in the depths of the abyss there are many things from which the waters are strengthened, which cannot be known by man. For all things that are under the earth are in His power; He governs and judges them, and He discerns the infernal judgment, and there is nothing that is not within His authority. Therefore, He stands strong in His own secrets; for God reveals His secrets to man perfectly, but He rests in them, just as a person rests in their own fields, as He rested on the seventh day from all His work. xxxm. No one can know the end of the children of perdition. Thus, the calling of the new people, while not losing its strength in the Antichrist, holds on to the good things of God's wonders, which cannot be known by man, and remains steadfast in those same wonders until the very last day, like a plant standing firm, resting, and will not waver any further, because all its tenderness will find its end there. For just as no one can explore the abyss, so no one will be able to know what will happen after the end of the lost man, just as it has been said about all these things through Wisdom.
