I say to explain, or rather call attention to it, for I think that, from what has been said, it is sufficiently clear, that by nature viewed as active we should understand that which is in itself, and is conceived through itself, or those attributes of substance, which express eternal and infinite essence, in other words (Prop. xiv., Coroll. i., and Prop. xvii., Coroll. ii) God, in so far as he is considered as a free cause.
Ezen iduritzen zait jadanik erranetarik argi dela, nola Natura sortzaileak adierazten duen guretzat bere baitan izaten den eta bere baitarik ulertzen den zerbait; edo, bestela errateko, esentzia mugagabea eta betierekoa adierazten duten substantziaren atributuak; edo oraino (14. Prop. 1. Korol. eta 17. Prop. 2. Korol. arab.) Jainkoa bera, kausa libre bezala hartzen den bezainbatean.
