Latin

Potest a specie in sensu exteriori existente immediate abstrahi species uniuersalis.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 18866

English

A universal species can be abstracted immediately from the species present in an exterior sense.

'species' kept as the technical epistemological term (not 'image', as Farmer renders it at farmer1998:18925).
