1 Transcendental relations are not known unless the ultimate causes of things are known.

721c Among transcendental relations are the relation of potency to act, of matter to form, of essence to existence, of nature to operation, of accidents to substance. (Fs)

And among the ultimate intrinsic constitutive causes of things are potency and act, matter and form, essence and existence, nature and operation, substance and accidents. (Fs)

Therefore, at least not all transcendental relations can be known without knowing the ultimate causes of things. (Fs)

721d And therefore, since in the initial stage of a science the causes are not known, there can be at that stage no or at best only a very incomplete consideration of transcendental relations. (Fs)
