Demonstration — Part II
Latin
Patet. Nam cum dicimus in mente humana ideam sequi ex ideis quæ in ipsa sunt adæquatæ, nihil aliud dicimus (per corollarium propositionis 11 hujus) quam quod in ipso divino intellectu detur idea cujus Deus est causa, non quatenus infinitus est nec quatenus plurimarum rerum singularium ideis affectus est sed quatenus tantum humanæ mentis essentiam constituit.
English (Elwes 1883)
This proposition is self--evident. For when we say that an idea in the human mind follows from ideas which are therein adequate, we say, in other words (II. xi. Coroll.), that an idea is in the divine intellect, whereof God is the cause, not in so far as he is infinite, nor in so far as he is affected by the ideas of very many particular things, but only in so far as he constitutes the essence of the human mind.
Modern English
This is evident. When we say that an idea in the human mind follows from ideas that are adequate in it, we are saying, by (E2P11C), nothing other than that there is an idea in the divine intellect of which God is the cause, not insofar as he is infinite, nor insofar as he is affected by the ideas of very many particular things, but only insofar as he constitutes the essence of the human mind.
