Thesis 4>3

Latin

Ideales rerum formalesque rationes effectiue a deo in prima creata mente formaliter primo reperiri, cum theologica ueritate tenemus. Correlarium: Vbi ideae sunt idealiter, ibi non sunt formaliter; ubi sunt formaliter, ibi non sunt idealiter.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 21541

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486, 1487 repperi

1486 and 1487 read 'repperi' for 'reperiri'.

English

We hold, in keeping with theological truth, that the ideal and formal grounds of things, though effectively brought about by God, are first found formally in the first created mind. Corollary: where the ideas exist ideally they do not exist there formally, and where they exist formally they do not exist there ideally.

Sense checked; no further crux.
