Latin

Est enim favor amor erga illum qui alteri benefecit (per 19 affectuum definitionem) atque adeo ad mentem referri potest quatenus hæc agere dicitur (per propositionem 59 partis III) hoc est (per propositionem 3 partis III) quatenus intelligit ac proinde cum ratione convenit etc. Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

Approval is love towards one who has done good to another (Def. of the Emotions, xix.); therefore it may be referred to the mind, in so far as the latter is active (III. lix.), that is (III. iii.), in so far as it understands; therefore, it is in agreement with reason, &c. Q.E.D.

Modern English

Approval is love toward one who has benefited another (E3DA19), and so it can be referred to the mind insofar as the mind is said to act (E3P59), that is, (E3P3), insofar as it understands. It therefore agrees with reason. Q.E.D.
