Thesis 3>5

Latin

Quanto unusquisque modus cognitionis est eminentior, tanto in intellectu disproportionato imperfectior euadit et illi inutilior.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20332

English

The more eminent a given mode of cognition is, the more imperfect and useless it turns out to be for an intellect disproportioned to it.

Sense checked; no further crux.
