1 Let A be something, which is common to all bodies, and 2 which is equally present in the part of any given body and in the 3 whole. I say A cannot be conceived except adequately. For the 4 idea thereof in God will necessarily be adequate (II. vii. 5 Coroll.), both in so far as God has the idea of the human body, 6 and also in so far as he has the idea of the modifications of the 7 human body, which (II. xvi., xxv., xxvii.) involve in part the 8 nature of the human body and the nature of external bodies; that 9 is (II. xii., xiii.), the idea in God will necessarily be 10 adequate, both in so far as he constitutes the human mind, and in 11 so far as he has the ideas, which are in the human mind. 12 Therefore the mind (II. xi. Coroll.) necessarily perceives A 13 adequately, and has this adequate perception, both in so far as 14 it perceives itself, and in so far as it perceives its own or any 15 external body, nor can A be conceived in any other manner. 16 Q.E.D. 17 18
