Latin

Quicquid mens sub specie æternitatis intelligit, id ex eo non intelligit quod corporis præsentem actualem existentiam concipit sed ex eo quod corporis essentiam concipit sub specie æternitatis.

English (Elwes 1883)

Whatsoever the mind understands under the form of eternity, it does not understand by virtue of conceiving the present actual existence of the body, but by virtue of conceiving the essence of the body under the form of eternity.

Modern English

Whatever the mind understands sub specie aeternitatis, it understands not by virtue of conceiving the body's present actual existence, but by virtue of conceiving the body's essence sub specie aeternitatis.
