Thesis 3>23

Latin

Sicut formae substantiales in secundo mundo sunt per modum accidentium, ita formae accidentales sunt in primo mundo per modum substantiarum. Correlarium: Sicut in primo mundo non est album sed albedo, ita in secundo mundo non est ignis, sed igneum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20561

English

Substantial forms belong to the second world in the manner accidents do, while accidental forms belong to the first world in the manner substances do. Corollary: the first world contains no white thing, only whiteness, just as the second world contains no fire, only what is on fire.

'first world'/'second world' = the intellectual nature / the rational-animate nature; includes the corollary printed with this thesis; sense checked.
