Corollary — Part III

Latin

Ex eo solo quod rem aliquam affectu lætitiæ vel tristitiæ cujus ipsa non est causa efficiens, contemplati sumus, eandem amare vel odio habere possumus.

English (Elwes 1883)

Simply from the fact that we have regarded a thing with the emotion of pleasure or pain, though that thing be not the efficient cause of the emotion, we can either love or hate it.

Modern English

From the mere fact that we have regarded a thing with an affect of joy or sadness of which that thing is not the efficient cause, we can love or hate it.
