...that which can be made good and the act of making good. And just as justice is defined by the judge and truth, and likewise a kingdom which is valued original: "timatur," perhaps meaning "valued" (estimatur) or "feared" (timetur) by other kingdoms. And the end of the succession original: "suasionis"; in this context, it refers to the process or succession of time. is that privation which is the [passing away] of things that once were and now are not; just as it is clear that the end of the succession of youth is age The text suggests age is the limit of youth., and death is the end of the succession of men who once were and now are not. All the aforesaid species, namely Principle, Middle, and End, which are in the Red Triangle, serve as instruments for investigating existing particulars from their own similarity, by finding one angle within another angle of that Red Triangle; these stand in the universe where the particulars contained under them are held under the reasoning of principle, middle, and end.

A diagram in red ink depicts a triangle. The top vertex is labeled 'k', the bottom left 'i', and the bottom right 'l'. The word "Croceus" (Saffron) is written at the top. Inside the triangle are the words "principiũ" (principle), "mediũ" (middle), and "finis" (end).

The Saffron Triangle Llull uses "croceus" (saffron) to refer to the Yellow Figure. is composed of Majority, Equality, and Minority original: "indiuitate," a scribal variation for "minoritate" (littleness/minority) which completes this specific triad in Llull's Art.. Above the angle of Majority is written: Majority between substance and substance, and between substance and accident, and between accident and accident. And the same logic applies to Equality and Minority to know that Majority exists between substance and substance—just as the substance of a man is greater in goodness than the substance of a horse, and the substance of a man is greater than the quantity of the man, and just as his quantity is greater than his color. This same thing is known of other similar things: where in a substance there exists an equality of its substance, just as there are within it goodness which fulfills the substantial part with substantial greatness; for just as greatness, by reason of its quantity, is a great substantial part of the subject, so in its own way goodness, by reason of its quantity, is realized as a good substantial part in the substance. Furthermore, just as greatness, since it is great within its own substantial part, so greatness transcends the substantial part of goodness. In the same way, goodness, since it exists substantially good in its own substantial part, transcends the part of greatness. And in this manner, one may reason concerning the other substantial principles; for from these transcendences, the substance exists as multiplied, composed, and individuated through the path of generation The process by which things come into being., just as it happens through inequality and the path of corruption The process of decay or breaking down. in privation. And there is also Equality between substance and accident, such as the equality of the substantial part and the accidental part An "accident" is a non-essential quality, like color or size. in a substance, which establishes the complete state in the substance. This is according to proportion, such as the equality of the substance of fire and its heat. And so of the rest.
