| (59) [XX]. Restat nunc videre de causa finali et efficiente huius elevationis terre, que demonstrata est sufficienter; et hic est ordo artificialis, nam questio 'an est', debet precedere questionem 'propter quid est'. Et de causa finali sufficiant que dicta sunt in premediata distinctione. | (59) It now remains to consider the final and the efficient cause of this elevation of the land, which has been sufficiently demonstrated. And this is the proper order of art, for the question whether a thing is, should precede the question why it is. As to the final cause, what has been said under the last heading but one may suffice. |
