Proposition — Part V
Latin
Quamvis nesciremus mentem nostram æternam esse, pietatem tamen et religionem et absolute omnia quæ ad animositatem et generositatem referri ostendimus in quarta parte, prima haberemus.
English (Elwes 1883)
Even if we did not know that our mind is eternal, we should still consider as of primary importance piety and religion, and generally all things which, in Part IV., we showed to be attributable to courage and high--mindedness.
Modern English
