Thesis 24.44

Latin

Sicut fides quae est credulitas est infra scientiam, ita fides quae est uere fides est supersubstantialiter supra scientiam et intellectum, nos deo immediate coniungens.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16610

Faith in the sense of mere belief lies beneath knowledge; faith in the true sense of the word stands supersubstantially above knowledge and intellect, joining us to God without any intermediary.
