E2P34D

Demonstration — Part II

Latin

Cum dicimus dari in nobis ideam adæquatam et perfectam, nihil aliud dicimus (per corollarium propositionis 11 hujus) quam quod in Deo quatenus nostræ mentis essentiam constituit, detur idea adæquata et perfecta et consequenter (per propositionem 32 hujus) nihil aliud dicimus quam quod talis idea sit vera. Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

When we say that an idea in us is adequate and perfect, we say, in other words (II. xi. Coroll.), that the idea is adequate and perfect in God, in so far as he constitutes the essence of our mind; consequently (II. xxxii.), we say that such an idea is true. Q.E.D.

Modern English

When we say there is an adequate and perfect idea in us, we are saying (E2P11C) that in God, insofar as he constitutes the essence of our mind, there is an adequate and perfect idea. And so (E2P32) we are saying that such an idea is true. Q.E.D.
