Thesis 2>20

Latin

In actibus nostri intellectus non est successio ratione potentiarum sensitiuarum et deseruientium, ut credunt moderni, sed eo: quia rationalis est.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 19106

English

In the acts of our intellect there is no succession by reason of the sensitive and subordinate powers, as the moderns believe, but for this reason: because it is rational.

Sense checked; no further crux.
