Thesis 7.32

Latin

Vnum methaphysicum dicat priuationem diuisibilitatis non actu, sed aptitudine.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 13393

Sheet's 'methaphysicumdicat' and 'diuisibilitatisnon' split to restore word boundaries (obvious OCR run-together words).

Let the metaphysical one signify a privation of divisibility that is not actual, but only a matter of aptitude.

'aptitudine' kept as 'aptitude', the sense given at farmer1998:13428 ('a proneness or inclination towards some state').
