On the Necessity of Being

Latin Etymology

Si igitur non-ens non potest intelligi nisi per ens, et ens in potentia non nisi per ens in actu; et esse nominat ipsum purum actum entis: esse igitur est quod primo cadit in intellectu, et illud esse est quod est actus purus. Sed hoc non est esse particulare, quod est esse analogum, quia minime habet de actu, eo quod minime est. Restat igitur, quod illud esse est esse divinum.
