Thesis 18.7

Latin

Sicut primus intellectus inter omnes intellectus primo se intelligit, alia secundario, ita ultimus intellectus inter omnes intellectus primo alia a se, et seipsum secundario intelligit.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 14828

English

As the first of all intellects understands itself in the first place and other things in the second, so the last of all intellects understands things other than itself in the first place and only in the second place itself.
