Latin

Forma in intensione et remissione non uariatur secundum essentiam, sed secundum esse.

The sheet breaks off after 'sed'; the closing clause 'secundum esse' is supplied from farmer1998:11037. OCR 'uarlatur' corrected to 'uariatur'.

English

A form does not vary in essence through intensification and remission, but only in its mode of existing.

'intensio et remissio' names the Aristotelian increase or decrease of an accidental quality over time (Farmer's note, farmer1998:11066). Sense checked against farmer1998:11090.
