1 The mind does not conceive anything under the form of 2 eternity, except in so far as it conceives its own body under the 3 form of eternity (V. xxix.); that is, except in so far as it is 4 eternal (V. xxi. xxiii.); therefore (by the last Prop.), in so 5 far as it is eternal, it possesses the knowledge of God, which 6 knowledge is necessarily adequate (II. xlvi.); hence the mind, 7 in so far as it is eternal, is capable of knowing everything 8 which can follow from this given knowledge of God (II. xl.), in 9 other words, of knowing things by the third kind of knowledge 10 (see Def. in II. xl. note. ii.), whereof accordingly the mind 11 (III. Def. i.), in so far as it is eternal, is the adequate or 12 formal cause of such knowledge. Q.E.D. 13 14
