 1 So long as a man is affected by the image of anything,
 2 he will regard that thing as present, even though it be
 3 non–existent (II. xvii. and Coroll.), he will not conceive it as
 4 past or future, except in so far as its image is joined to the
 5 image of time past or future (II. xliv. note).  Wherefore the
 6 image of a thing, regarded in itself alone, is identical, whether
 7 it be referred to time past, time future, or time present; that
 8 is (II. xvi. Coroll.), the disposition or emotion of the body is
 9 identical, whether the image be of a thing past, future, or
10 present.  Thus the emotion of pleasure or pain is the same,
11 whether the image be of a thing past or future.  Q.E.D.
