Latin

Habitus habet esse practicum et speculatiuum ab obiecto relato ad subiectum in quo est. Intellectus autem dicitur practicus uel speculatiuus a fine quem sibi proponit habituatus.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 19203; 1486 print folio <16r/16v>

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 est: Intellectus

1486/1487 apparatus: 1486 est: Intellectus

English

A habit has its practical or speculative being from its object as related to the subject in which it resides. The intellect, however, is called practical or speculative from the end that the one possessing it sets for itself.

Sense checked; no further crux beyond the apparatus's punctuation.
