PROPOSITIONS.
PROP. I.
Thought
is an attribute of God, or God is a thinking thing.
Proof.--Particular thoughts,
or this or that thought, are modes which, in a certain conditioned manner,
express the nature of God (Pt. i., Prop. xxv., Coroll.). God therefore
possesses the attribute (Pt. i., Def. v.) of which the concept is involved
in all particular thoughts, which latter are conceived thereby. Thought,
therefore, is one of the infinite attributes of God, which express God's
eternal and infinite essence (Pt. i., Def. vi.). In other words, God is
a thinking thing. Q.E.D.
