Conatus, quo unaquae que res in suo esse perseverare conatur,
nullum tempus finitum; sed indefinitum in volvit.

Si enim tempus limitatum inrolreret, quodrei durationem de-
terminaret, tum ex sola ipla potentiâ, quares existie, legueretur,
quodres postlimitatum illudtempus non pore exittere; sed quod
deberet destrui; atqui hoc (per Prop. 4. hujus) est ablurdum: ex-
soconatus, quo res existit, nullum tempus definitum involvit;
sedcontra, quoniam, per eandem Prop. 4. hujus) si à nulla Cx-
ternâ causa destruatur, cadem porentia, qua jam existit, existere
erget semper; erxo huc conatus tempus indetinitum inrolrit.
