Thesis 4>12

Latin

Beati duplicem habent cognitionem de creaturis, eas formaliter attingentem, quarum altera illatiue est, ex ea qua uerbum attingunt, altera secundum quam in re creata creaturam contemplantur.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 21677

English

The blessed have a twofold cognition of creatures that reaches them formally: one inferred from their attainment of the Word, the other consisting in their contemplation of the creature within the created thing itself.

The second of the two conclusions promised in 4>11.
