E5P2
Proposition — Part V
Latin
Si animi commotionem seu affectum a causæ externæ cogitatione amoveamus et aliis jungamus cogitationibus, tum amor seu odium erga causam externam ut et animi fluctuationes quæ ex his affectibus oriuntur, destruentur.
English (Elwes 1883)
If we remove a disturbance of the spirit, or emotion, from the thought of an external cause, and unite it to other thoughts, then will the love or hatred towards that external cause, and also the vacillations of spirit which arise from these emotions, be destroyed.
