Vetting Status: high
Translation: "This is an activity and outlet of the soul. For to know many things is possible, but to think many things at the same time is impossible. For every one who thinks is thinking one thing. For just as it is impossible to say many words at the same time, so also [it is impossible] to think many things at the same time. For thought [is] a kind of speech, with the soul itself speaking by itself."
