Weigh life’s marks against the creature grades.

Life fits God more properly than any creature.

And in a far more eminent mode.

Latin

XI. Jam autem, si quis ex iis quae dicta sunt rite perpendat qua in re consistat vita & ejus perfectio, & creaturarum, quae vivere dicuntur, comparationem cum Deo instituat, facile agnoscet vitam magis proprie Deo competere quam ulli creaturae, & modo multo eminentiori.
