The proposition consists of two parts. Part 1: There is a Sefirah and there is a Partzuf. This introduces the subject of these two categories. Part 2: A Sefirah... This explains these two categories.
NOTEThe Hebrew word Sefirah (ספירה) has the connotations of radiating light, and also of counting: each Sefirah is one in a count of several. The Hebrew word Partzuf (פרצוף) denotes the “face” or overall visage presented by a person to those who see him or her.Part 1: There is a Sefirah and there is a Partzuf. Two categories may be understood in relation to the Sefirot: Sefirah and Partzuf. And the Sefirot themselves sometimes appear like this and sometimes like that. But for now we will say that the entire government of the worlds (הנהגה, Hanhagah) can be examined in terms of Sefirot and also in terms of Partzufim. These are the two pathways of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero of blessed memory (1522-70) and the Holy Rav, the ARI of blessed memory (1534-70).
