Thesis 6.1

Latin

Potentia generandi in diuinis nec est essentia diuina precise et absolute sumpta, nec relatio uel proprietas, nec constitutum ex ambobus, nec alterum istorum cum inclusione alterius, sed est essentia cum modo relatiuo.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 12671

English

In God, the power to generate is neither the divine essence taken precisely and absolutely, nor a relation or property, nor something constituted from both, nor either one together with the other included, but is the essence under a relative mode.
