Proposition — Part III

Latin

Cum mens ea imaginatur quæ corporis agendi potentiam minuunt vel coercent, conatur quantum potest rerum recordari quæ horum existentiam secludunt.

English (Elwes 1883)

When the mind conceives things which diminish or hinder the body's power of activity, it endeavours, as far as possible, to remember things which exclude the existence of the first--named things.

Modern English

When the mind imagines things that diminish or constrain the body's power of acting, it strives as much as it can to recall things whose existence excludes the existence of those first things.
