E5P4D

Demonstration — Part V

Latin

Quæ omnibus communia sunt, non possunt concipi nisi adæquate (per propositionem 38 partis II) adeoque (per propositionem 12 et lemma 2 quod habetur post scholium propositionis 13 partis II) nulla est corporis affectio cujus aliquem clarum et distinctum non possumus formare conceptum. Q.E.D.

English (Elwes 1883)

Properties which are common to all things can only be conceived adequately (II. xxxviii.); therefore (II. xii. and Lemma ii. after II. xiii.) there is no modification of the body, whereof we cannot form some clear and distinct conception. Q.E.D.

Modern English

What is common to all things can only be conceived adequately (E2P38), and therefore (E2P12) there is no affection of the body of which we cannot form some clear and distinct concept. Q.E.D.

Editorial notes

Anywhere the Latin and English texts diverge in their citations, a note is recorded here. Deliberate disambiguations the build performs (the Latin's specific ordinal applied to an ambiguous English reference) are tagged Disambiguated or Promoted. Observed divergences that are not editorially reconciled — citations one witness makes that the other condenses or rephrases — are tagged Latin-only or English-only. Body text is never modified.

Promoted — the English citation "II. xiii." (which would have resolved to E2P13) points instead to E2P13S — the sub-section the Latin text specifies in the same passage.
Latin-only citation — at this section the Latin text additionally cites E5P12. Elwes's English does not render this as an explicit reference.
English-only citation — Elwes's English text additionally cites E2P12. The Latin text does not include this as an explicit citation here.
