E5P22D

Demonstration — Part V

Latin

Deus non tantum est causa hujus et illius corporis humani existentiæ sed etiam essentiæ (per propositionem 25 partis I) quæ propterea per ipsam Dei essentiam necessario debet concipi (per axioma 4 partis I) idque æterna quadam necessitate (per propositionem 16 partis I) qui quidem conceptus necessario in Deo dari debet (per propositionem 3 partis II). Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

God is the cause, not only of the existence of this or that human body, but also of its essence (I. xxv.). This essence, therefore, must necessarily be conceived through the very essence of God (I. Ax. iv.), and be thus conceived by a certain eternal necessity (I. xvi.); and this conception must necessarily exist in God (II. iii.). Q.E.D.

Modern English

God is the cause not only of this or that human body's existence but also of its essence (E1P25). This essence must therefore necessarily be conceived through God's own essence (E1A4), and that by a certain eternal necessity (E1P16). This conception must necessarily exist in God (E2P3). Q.E.D.
