Sectio Decima octava. Metaphysica.

HAEC Scientia considerat Entia, ut abstracta ab omni materia, nomenque hoc trahit inde quod agat de rebus aliquatenus praeter, vel su∣pra, aut ultra naturam.

Duo in Ente contemplatur, 1. Es∣sentiam, quae videtur esse verum Ens licet non existat, ut Rosa media Hye∣me. 2. Existentiam quae actu in rerum natura est, aut vi cujus aliquid actu existit, ut existentia Rosae est id vi cu∣jus Rosa nunc existit.

Contemplatur tres in quovis Ente proprietates, Unitatem, Bonitatem, Veritatem: Unitas est id vi cujus quidpiam est unum, & non multa. Veritas est conformitas unius cujusque rei cum principiis veris, & constituen∣tibus, ut veritas Auri, aut Aurum verum est ejusdem conformitas cum consti∣tuentibus

hujusce Metalli principiis. Metaphysica Bonitas rerum est essen∣tialis illa perfectio quae rebus congruit.

Haec Scientia agit pariter de poten∣tiis, actibus, principiis, causis, con∣traque Aristotelem, aliosque antiquos Philosophos, probat mundum non fuisse aeternum.
