The Six Books of Proclus on the Theology of Plato, Volume 2

Proposition Cxlvii.

Project Gutenberg EPUB edition Proclus and Taylor, Thomas
Open passage
The summits of all the divine orders are assimilated to the ends of the natures [proximately] situated above them.
Open passage
For if it is necessary that there should be an uninterrupted connection of the divine progression, and that each order should be bound together by appropriate media, it is necessary that the summits of secondary should be conjoined with the terminations of first orders. But this contact is through similitude. Hence there will be a similitude of the principles of an inferior, to the ends of a [proximately] superior order.
