Thesis 5>32

Latin

Per aliam uitam in Epinomide intelligere debemus connexionem partis cum suo toto, et credo idem esse quod apud Cabalistas dicitur saeculum uenturum.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 22752

Apparatus (Farmer): 1486 soeculum

1486 print reads 'soeculum' for 'saeculum' (farmer1998:22780).

English

The 'other life' mentioned in the Epinomis refers, I take it, to how a part is bound up with its whole—and this, I believe, is the very thing the Cabalists mean by the world to come.
