Thesis 3>41

Latin

Sicut se habet sensus communis in cognitione accidentalium qualitatum et quantitatis materialis, ita se habet ratio in cognitione substantialium qualitatum et quantitatis formalis, seruata proportione, quod ille sensualiter, haec rationaliter, agit.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 20875

English

Common sense relates to accidental qualities and material quantity the way reason relates to substantial qualities and formal quantity, with the proportion kept that the one operates sensually and the other rationally.

Sense checked; no further crux.
