Latin
Si ad hominum communem opinionem attendamus, videbimus eos suæ mentis æternitatis esse quidem conscios sed ipsos eandem cum duratione confundere eamque imaginationi seu memoriæ tribuere quam post mortem remanere credunt.
English (Elwes 1883)
If we look to men's general opinion, we shall see that they are indeed conscious of the eternity of their mind, but that they confuse eternity with duration, and ascribe it to the imagination or the memory which they believe to remain after death.
Modern English
If we attend to the common opinion of people, we will see that they are indeed conscious of the eternity of their mind, but that they confuse eternity with duration and ascribe it to the imagination or the memory, which they believe remains after death.
