E2P6D

Demonstration — Part II

Latin

Unumquodque enim attributum per se absque alio concipitur (per propositionem 10 partis I). Quare uniuscujusque attributi modi conceptum sui attributi, non autem alterius involvunt adeoque (per axioma 4 partis I) Deum quatenus tantum sub illo attributo cujus modi sunt et non quatenus sub ullo alio consideratur, pro causa habent. Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

Each attribute is conceived through itself, without any other (Part i., Prop. x.); wherefore the modes of each attribute involve the conception of that attribute, but not of any other. Thus (Part i., Ax. iv.) they are caused by God, only in so far as he is considered through the attribute whose modes they are, and not in so far as he is considered through any other. Q.E.D.

Modern English

Each attribute is conceived through itself, without any other (E1P10). Therefore the modes of each attribute involve the concept of that attribute and of no other. So (E1A4) they have God as their cause only insofar as he is considered through that attribute of which they are modes, and not insofar as he is considered through any other. Q.E.D.
