 1 As God is a being absolutely infinite, of whom no
 2 attribute that expresses the essence of substance can be denied
 3 (by Def. vi.), and he necessarily exists (by Prop. xi.); if any
 4 substance besides God were granted, it would have to be explained
 5 by some attribute of God, and thus two substances with the same
 6 attribute would exist, which (by Prop. v.) is absurd; therefore,
 7 besides God no substance can be granted, or, consequently, be
 8 conceived.  If it could be conceived, it would necessarily have
 9 to be conceived as existent; but this (by the first part of this
10 proof) is absurd.  Therefore, besides God no substance can be
11 granted or conceived.  Q.E.D.
