Sed cum pariter ratione docente sit certum quia quidquid summa substantia fecit, non fecit per aliud quam per semetipsam; et quidquid fecit, per suam intimam locutionem fecit, sive singula singulis verbis, sive potius uno verbo simul omnia dicendo; quid magis necessarium videri potest, quam hanc summae essentiae locutionem non esse aliud quam summam essentiam? Non igitur negligenter praetereundam hujus locutionis considerationem puto: sed priusquam de illa possit tractari, diligenter ejusdem summae substantiae proprietates aliquas studiose investigandas existimo.
