Cabalistic, confirming the Christian religion · thesis 11>8

Thesis 11>8

Latin

Ex praecedenti conclusione intelligi potest cur dixerit Paulus datum esse Iesu nomen quod est super omne nomen, et cur in nomine Iesu dictum sit: Omne genu flecti caelestium, terrestrium, et infernorum, quod etiam est maxime cabalisticum; et potest ex se intelligere qui est profundus in cabala.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 26500; 1486 print folio <31r/31v>

Farmer's line breaks 'Paulus /' with an OCR slash and prints 'lesu' for 'Iesu' (long-s/I confusion, resolved here); neither is a variant reading (farmer1998:26500).

English

From the previous conclusion one can grasp why Paul said that Jesus was given the name that is above every name, and why it is said in the name of Jesus that every knee should bend, of those in heaven, on earth, and under the earth — a claim that is itself thoroughly Cabalistic; and whoever is deep in the Cabala can work this out unaided.

'ex se intelligere' rendered 'work this out unaided', keeping the contrast with theses that need an outside gloss. Farmer's note points to Philippians 2:9-10 for the two clauses (farmer1998:26577).
