E2P22D
Demonstration — Part II
Latin
Affectionum idearum ideæ in Deo eodem modo sequuntur et ad Deum eodem modo referuntur ac ipsæ affectionum ideæ; quod eodem modo demonstratur ac propositio 20 hujus. At ideæ affectionum corporis in mente humana sunt (per propositionem 12 hujus) hoc est (per corollarium propositionis 11 hujus) in Deo quatenus humanæ mentis essentiam constituit; ergo harum idearum ideæ in Deo erunt quatenus humanæ mentis cognitionem sive ideam habet hoc est (per propositionem 21 hujus) in ipsa mente humana quæ propterea non tantum corporis affectiones sed earum etiam ideas percipit. Q.E.D.
English (Elwes 1883)
The ideas of the ideas of modifications follow in God in the same manner, and are referred to God in the same manner, as the ideas of the said modifications. This is proved in the same way as II. xx. But the ideas of the modifications of the body are in the human mind (II. xii.), that is, in God, in so far as he constitutes the essence of the human mind; therefore the ideas of these ideas will be in God, in so far as he has the knowledge or idea of the human mind, that is (II. xxi.), they will be in the human mind itself, which therefore perceives not only the modifications of the body, but also the ideas of such modifications. Q.E.D.
Modern English
The ideas of the ideas of the affections follow in God and are referred to God in the same manner as the ideas of the affections themselves, which is demonstrated in the same way as Proposition 20 (E2P20). But the ideas of the affections of the body are in the human mind (E2P12), that is (E2P11C), in God insofar as he constitutes the essence of the human mind. Therefore the ideas of those ideas will be in God insofar as he has the knowledge or idea of the human mind, that is (E2P21), in the human mind itself. The human mind therefore perceives not only the affections of the body but also the ideas of those affections. Q.E.D.
