Proposition — Part V

Latin

Affectus qui ex ratione oriuntur vel excitantur, si ratio temporis habeatur, potentiores sunt iis qui ad res singulares referuntur quas ut absentes contemplamur.

English (Elwes 1883)

Emotions which are aroused or spring from reason, if we take account of time, are stronger than those, which are attributable to particular objects that we regard as absent.

Modern English

Affects that arise from or are aroused by reason are, if time is taken into account, more powerful than those that belong to particular things we regard as absent.
