Thesis 24.19

Latin

Quaecunque uel deorum uel naturae operationes duplices sunt, immanentes et transeuntes; per immanentes seipsum unumquodque continet et quae in ipso sunt rationes; per transeuntes ad exteriora se conuertit.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16176

Latin as in the packet with run-together or artefact spellings normalised: 'continetet' to 'continet et'.

English

Whatever operations there are, whether of the gods or of nature, are twofold, immanent and transitive: by the immanent ones each thing holds itself together, along with the reasons that are in it; by the transitive ones it turns itself toward external things.

Print run-on 'continetet' split as 'continet et' (farmer1998:16177). 'rationes' rendered 'reasons' (the scholastic sense, not 'ratios'). Farmer notes that the editio princeps is mispunctuated here (farmer1998:16257); the clause division followed is the packet's. Sense checked against farmer1998:16236.
