Thesis 6>9

Latin

Ex antepenultima propositione Abucaten colligi potest quod declinare plus ad sensum quam ad intellectum non est animae ut anima est, sed ut cadens est.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 23548

English

From Abucaten's third-from-last proposition we can gather that a greater inclination toward sense than toward intellect does not belong to the soul as soul, but to the soul as fallen.

Sense checked against farmer1998:23581; no further crux.
