Thank you for the link to Grosseteste.  I found the Latin here

http://www.grosseteste.com/cgi-bin/textdisplay.cgi?text=de-luce.xml

But is he saying quite the same thing as Suarez?  Grosseteste writes

"Thus the sum of all numbers both even and odd is infinite. It is at the
same time greater than the sum of all the even numbers although this is
likewise infinite, for it exceeds it by the sum of all the odd numbers."
