E4Cap6
Chapter — Part IV
Latin
Sed quia omnia illa quorum homo efficiens est causa, necessario bona sunt, nihil ergo mali homini evenire potest nisi a causis externis nempe quatenus pars est totius naturæ cujus legibus humana natura obtemperare et cui infinitis modis pene sese accommodare cogitur.
English (Elwes 1883)
As all things whereof man is the efficient cause are necessarily good, no evil can befall man except through external causes; namely, by virtue of man being a part of universal nature, whose laws human nature is compelled to obey, and to conform to in almost infinite ways.
Modern English
Since everything of which a man is the efficient cause is necessarily good, no bad thing can befall a man except through external causes, that is, insofar as he is a part of the whole of nature, whose laws human nature is compelled to obey and to which it is compelled to accommodate itself in almost infinitely many ways.
