Corollary — Part II

Latin

Hinc sequitur quod Dei cogitandi potentia æqualis est ipsius actuali agendi potentiæ. Hoc est quicquid ex infinita Dei natura sequitur formaliter, id omne ex Dei idea eodem ordine eademque connexione sequitur in Deo objective.

English (Elwes 1883)

Hence God's power of thinking is equal to his realized power of action--that is, whatsoever follows from the infinite nature of God in the world of extension (formaliter), follows without exception in the same order and connection from the idea of God in the world of thought (objective).

Modern English

Hence God's power of thinking is equal to his actual power of acting. That is: whatever follows formally from the infinite nature of God also follows objectively in God from the idea of God, in the same order and with the same connection.
