E2P10D2

Demonstration — Part II

Latin

Nam esse substantiæ (per propositionem præcedentem) ad essentiam hominis non pertinet. Est ergo (per propositionem 15 partis I) aliquid quod in Deo est et quod sine Deo nec esse nec concipi potest sive (per corollarium propositionis 25 partis I) affectio sive modus qui Dei naturam certo et determinato modo exprimit.

English (Elwes 1883)

(not aligned in this witness)

Modern English

Being a substance does not belong to the essence of man (E2P10). The essence of man is therefore something that is in God and that can neither exist nor be conceived without God (E1P15), or (E1P25C), an affection or mode that expresses God's nature in a certain and determinate way.
