Thesis 11>37

Latin

Qui intellexerit in dextrali coordinatione subordinationem pietatis ad sapientiam, perfecte intelliget per uiam Cabalae quomodo Abraam in die suo per rectam lineam uidit diem Christi, et gauisus est.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 27217

The sheet prints 'intelliget_per' with a connecting underscore, an OCR artifact for the space; resolved here to 'intelliget per'.

English

Whoever has grasped, within the right-hand ordering, the subordination of piety to wisdom, will fully understand, by way of the Cabala, how Abraham in his own day saw, along the straight line, the day of Christ, and rejoiced.

'piety' and 'wisdom' are, per Farmer's note, the fourth and second sefirot; the 'right-hand order' is the sefirot proper, set against a 'left-hand' emanation of evil forces (farmer1998:27242). The thesis glosses John 8:56.
