Thesis 6>10

Latin

Cum dicit Abucaten intelligentiam, ut diuina, est regere res, intelligendum est de regimine statuitiuo, non ordinatiuo qui ei competit ut intelligentia est.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 23553

English

Abucaten says that intelligence, insofar as it is divine, governs things; take this of a statute-giving governance, not the ordinative governance that belongs to it simply as intelligence.
