Thesis 11>70

Latin

Per modum legendi sine punctis in lege, et modus scribendi res diuinas, et unialis continentia per indeterminatum ambitum rerum diuinarum, nobis ostenditur.

English

By the practice of reading the Law without its points, we are shown two things at once: how divine matters are to be written, and how their oneness is held together across a boundless range.

'without points' means without Hebrew vowel signs, which effectively removes the divisions between words; Farmer's note suggests the underlying idea that the Torah is itself the 'great name of God', holding all real or possible things in an undivided state (farmer1998:28012).
