E1P24D

Demonstration — Part I

Latin

Patet ex definitione 1. Id enim cujus natura (in se scilicet considerata) involvit existentiam, causa est sui et ex sola suæ naturæ necessitate existit.

English (Elwes 1883)

This proposition is evident from Def. i. For that of which the nature (considered in itself) involves existence is self--caused, and exists by the sole necessity of its own nature.

Modern English

This is clear from (E1D1). For that whose nature (considered in itself) involves existence is *causa sui* and exists from the necessity of its own nature alone.
