Reading edition
“So many are the stars which spread themselves over her sky, that surely we cannot wonder if they make many and diverse fruits grow on human nobility, so many are their natures and potencies, concentrated and united in one simple substance; and on them as on diverse branches she bears fruit in diverse ways.” Conv. IV. xix. 45-52. (Jackson). See also Conv. IV. xxi. 62-66.
