connective and measuring power of that triad; since it measures the
energies of the Gods, and converts each of them to itself. And justice
proceeds analogous to the third triad of intelligibles. For it also
separates secondary natures according to appropriate desert,[221] in
the same manner as that triad separates them intelligibly by the first
paradigms.
CHAPTER XV.
After these things therefore, we may survey another triad preexisting
in this place, which also Socrates celebrates, viz. the plain of
truth, the meadow, and the nutriment of the Gods. The plain of truth
therefore, is intellectually expanded to intelligible light, and is
splendid with the illuminations that proceed from thence. For as _the
one_ emits by illumination intelligible light, so the intelligible
imparts to secondary natures a participation productive of essence. But
the meadow is the prolific power of life, and of all-various reasons,
is the comprehension of the first efficient causes of life, and is the
cause of the variety, and generation of forms. For the meadows also
which are here are productive of all-various forms and reasons, and
bear water which is the symbol of vivification. And the nourishing
cause of the Gods, is a certain intelligible union, comprehending in
itself the whole perfection of the Gods, and filling the Gods with acme
and power, in order that they may bestow a providential attention to
secondary natures, and may possess an immutable intellectual perception
of such natures as are first. Above however, the Gods participate of
these uniformly; but in a divided manner in their progressions.
