E5P29S

Scholium — Part V

Latin

Res duobus modis a nobis ut actuales concipiuntur vel quatenus easdem cum relatione ad certum tempus et locum existere vel quatenus ipsas in Deo contineri et ex naturæ divinæ necessitate consequi concipimus. Quæ autem hoc secundo modo ut veræ seu reales concipiuntur, eas sub æternitatis specie concipimus et earum ideæ æternam et infinitam Dei essentiam involvunt, ut propositione 45 partis II ostendimus, cujus etiam scholium vide.

English (Elwes 1883)

Things are conceived by us as actual in two ways; either as existing in relation to a given time and place, or as contained in God and following from the necessity of the divine nature. Whatsoever we conceive in this second way as true or real, we conceive under the form of eternity, and their ideas involve the eternal and infinite essence of God, as we showed in II. xlv. and note, which see.

Modern English

We conceive things as actual in two ways: either insofar as we conceive them as existing in relation to a definite time and place, or insofar as we conceive them as contained in God and as following from the necessity of the divine nature. Things conceived in this second way as true or real, we conceive *sub specie aeternitatis*, and their ideas involve the eternal and infinite essence of God, as we showed in E2P45 and its scholium (E2P45).
