Because He moves against faults, God is said to be angered, although He is moved by no disturbance of equanimity.

The greatness of contemplation can be given to none but those who love.

Now if the wearing of fine and precious robes were not a fault, word of God would never have so carefully expressed this.

Because God that is immutable changes what He willed, He is said to repent, although what changes is a thing and not His counsel.
