Largissime dr prophetia ispiratio divina occulta denuncians, et hoc mo prophetia no magis de pteritis , q. de psentibus, et de futuris est, cu utraq; possint esse abscodita, et a Deo revelata: et sic historia creationis, q. Moyses scripsit in Genesi.
Commentaires pour la traduction
This passage is difficult for me to decipher b/c the author abbreviates many of the words. My impression is that he means to say something like: the greatest level of prophecy is knowledge of hidden facts, whether of the past, the present or the future, facts that are knowable only through divine revelation.
--------
futurities --> futuris /wrong deciphered from he original/ <edited by Aneta B.>
They say that prophecy, mostly, is the manifesting of invisible divine messages, and hence the prophecy no more concerns the past than it does the present and the future, whilst all could be just as hidden as revealed by God: and thus the history of the Creation, which Moses described in the Book of Genesis.

There are a few minor flaws in the English, I have noted the suggestions for corrections in bold:
"They say that prophecy, mostly, is the manifesting of invisible divine messages, and hence the prophecy no more concernsthe past than it does the present and the future, whilst all could be just as hidden as revealed by God: and thus the history of the Creation, which Moses described in the Book of Genesis."
