Scholium — Part IV
Latin
Ex iis quæ ad definitionem 6 hujus partis notavimus, sequitur nos erga objecta quæ a præsenti longiore temporis intervallo distant quam quod imaginando determinare possumus quamvis ab invicem longo temporis intervallo distare intelligamus, æque tamen remisse affici.

Modern English
From what we noted at Definition 6 of this Part, it follows that we are equally weakly affected toward objects that are separated from the present by a longer interval of time than we can determine by imagination — even when we understand that they are far apart from one another by a long interval of time.
