Thesis 5>15
Latin
Per extremorum et medii rationem cognoscere possumus conuenienter uniuersi gradus sic in quinque posse diuidi: In super ens, uere ens, non uere ens, non uere non ens, uere non ens.
1486 print punctuates the list with periods ('diuidi.In super ens.uere ens.non uere ens. etc.', farmer1998:22465); wording unchanged.
English
By the principle of the extremes and the middle we can fittingly recognize that the grades of the universe may be divided into five: the above-being, the truly-being, the not-truly-being, the not-truly-non-being, and the truly-non-being.
