Thesis 11>59

Latin

Qui profunde considerauerit quadruplicem rerum statum: Primo unionis et stabilitae mansionis, Secundo processionis, Tertio reuersionis, Quarto beatificae reunionis, videbit litteram Beth cum prima littera, primum, cum media, medium, cum ultimis, ultima, operari.

The sheet joins 'littera_primum', 'media_medium' and 'ultimis_ultima' with underscores, an OCR artifact for light punctuation; resolved here to commas.

English

Anyone who considers deeply the fourfold condition of things — first, union and settled indwelling; second, procession; third, reversion; fourth, beatific reunion — will find the letter Bet working the first state with the alphabet's first letter, the middle states with its middle letter, and the last with its last letters.

Farmer's note (following Wirszubski) reconstructs the combinations as bet+alef='av' (Father), bet+nun='ben' (Son), bet+shin/tav='shabbat' (Sabbath), matching indwelling, procession, and reversion/reunion (farmer1998:27714).
