Thesis 10>21

Latin

Opus praecedentium hymnorum nullum est sine opere Cabale, cuius est proprium practicare omnem quantitatem formalem, continuam et discretam.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 26004

The sheet's locator text breaks off mid-word at a hyphenated line break, 'discre-' (farmer1998:26004-26007); completed here as 'discretam', a repair of the line break, not an addition of text.

English

None of the operation belonging to the preceding hymns succeeds without a work of Cabala, whose proper office is to put into practice every formal quantity, both continuous and discrete.

Sense checked against farmer1998:26064; no divergence.
