Thesis 24.48

Latin

Sicut prima trinitas post unitatem est omnia intelligibiliter, commensurate, et finiformiter, ita secunda trinitas est omnia uitaliter, uere, et infinitiformiter. Tertia est omne secundum mixti proprietatem et pulchriformiter.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 16705

English

As the first triad after the unity is all things intelligibly, in due measure and in the mode of limit, so the second triad is all things vitally, truly and in the mode of the unlimited. The third is all things according to the character of the mixed, and in the mode of beauty.

'finiformiter', 'infinitiformiter' and 'pulchriformiter' are coined adverbs; rendered 'in the mode of limit / of the unlimited / of beauty'. 'commensurate' read as the adverb 'commensurate' (measuredly); the line-break form 'commensu-rate' is OCR hyphenation (farmer1998:16705-16707). 'trinitas' rendered 'triad'.
