Thesis 3>10

Latin

Sicut in creatura non ualet consequentia: Est ens, ergo est, ita in deo non ualet: Est, ergo est ens.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20433; 1486 print folio <18v/19r>

English

For a creature, granting that it is a being does not entitle one to infer that it exists; for God, conversely, granting that he exists does not entitle one to infer that he is a being.

Restructured from the Latin's parallel 'Est ens, ergo est' / 'Est, ergo est ens' inferences; sense checked.
