Distinguished Sir, -- . . . But in answer to your
objection I say, that although each
particular thing be
expressed in infinite
ways in the infinite
understanding
of God,
yet those infinite
ideas, whereby it is expressed,
cannot constitute one and the same
mind of a
particular thing,
but infinite
minds; seeing that each of these
infinite ideas has no connection with the rest, as I have
explained in the same note to Ethics,
E2P7CN, and as is
also evident from E1P10.
If you will reflect on these
passages a little, you will see that all difficulty vanishes,
&c.
The Hague, 18 August, 1675.
