Latin

Qui profunde et intellectualiter diuisionem unitatis uenereae in trinitatem gratiarum, et unitatis fatalis in trinitatem parcarum, et unitatis Saturniae in trinitatem Iouis, Neptunni, et Plutonis, intellexerit, uidebit modum debite procedendi in orphica theologia.

English

Grasp, deeply and intellectually, how the unity of Venus divides into the trinity of the Graces, the unity of Fate into the trinity of the Fates, and the unity of Saturn into the trinity of Jove, Neptune, and Pluto, and you will see the proper way of proceeding in Orphic theology.

Sense checked against farmer1998:25827; no divergence. 'gratiarum' and 'parcarum' given as the standard English 'Graces' and 'Fates'.
