Per causam sui intelligo id cujus essentia involvit existentiam sive id cujus natura non potest concipi nisi existens.

Bepaling

By oorzaak van zich zelf versta ik het geen, welks wezentheit wezentlijkheit insluit; of het geen, welks natuur niet anders, dan ewezentlijk, bevat kan worden.

By that which is self-caused, I mean that of which the essence involves existence, or that of which the nature is only conceivable as existent.
