I. Wherein is the Criterion for the Apprehension of the Soul.

All things that exist are either known by sense⁴⁴²

⁴⁴² αἰσθήσει.
or apprehended by thought.⁴⁴³

⁴⁴³ νοήσει.
And what falls under sense has its adequate demonstration in sense itself; for at once, with the application, it creates in us the impression⁴⁴⁴

⁴⁴⁴ φαντασίαν.
of what underlies it. But what is apprehended by thought is known not by itself, but by its operations.⁴⁴⁵

⁴⁴⁵ ἐνεργειῶν.
The soul, consequently, being unknown by itself, shall be known property by its effects.
