Thesis 2>2

Latin

Intentio secunda est ens rationis, habens se per modum formae qualitatiue, ab operatione intellectus proueniens consequutive, non effectiue.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 18870

English

A second intention is a being of reason, holding itself after the manner of a qualitative form, arising from an operation of the intellect consequently, not effectively.

'consequutive'/'effectiue' kept as the technical contrast between a merely resultant (consequent) and a produced (efficient) origin.
