Thesis 24.46

Latin

Sicut secundum causalitatis ambitum, ita secundum nature et gradus sublimitatem haec per ordinem se inuicem excedunt: Anima, Intellectus, Vita, Ens, et Vnum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16695

The packet ends the text at 'Vita,'; 'Ens, et Vnum.' supplied from the next line of the OCR (farmer1998:16697).

English

As in the range of causality, so in the loftiness of nature and rank, these surpass one another in sequence: Soul, Intellect, Life, Being, and the One.

The packet and theses.json break the Latin off at 'Vita,'; the closing words 'Ens, et Vnum.' are supplied from farmer1998:16697. The list runs upward from Soul to the One, which is how Farmer reads it (farmer1998:16736-16738).
