1 We have shown that the idea of a modification of the 2 human body involves the nature of an external body, in so far as 3 that external body conditions the human body in a given manner. 4 But, in so far as the external body is an individual, which has 5 no reference to the human body, the knowledge or idea thereof is 6 in God (II. ix.), in so far as God is regarded as affected by the 7 idea of a further thing, which (II. vii.) is naturally prior to 8 the said external body. Wherefore an adequate knowledge of the 9 external body is not in God, in so far as he has the idea of the 10 modification of the human body; in other words, the idea of the 11 modification of the human body does not involve an adequate 12 knowledge of the external body.
