Thesis 3>52

Latin

Eadem est scientia de deo, homine, et materia prima, et qui de uno scientiam habuerit, habebit et de reliquis, seruata proportione extremi ad extremum, medii ad extrema, et extremorum ad medium.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 21081

English

Knowledge of God, of man, and of prime matter is a single knowledge; whoever has it of one term will have it of the others too, keeping the proportion of extreme to extreme, of middle to the extremes, and of the extremes to the middle.

Sense checked; no further crux.
