Thesis 4>25

Latin

Secunda conclusio est haec: Licet actus intellectus formaliter foelicitantis attingat obiecti essentiam, tamen quod actus suus circa illum actus sit foelicitatis, formaliter habet ab actu uoluntatis.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 21973

English

The second conclusion is this: granted that the act of intellect that formally confers happiness reaches the essence of its object, the fact that its act concerning that object counts as an act of happiness, it owes formally to an act of will.

The second of the two conclusions promised at 4>24.
