English commentary: "... if we suppose Spinoza to have meant by God either of the interpretations I reject, then we must also suppose that Spinoza did not deny freedom nor affirm determinism or necessary connection in any significant sense.
The two interpetations which I reject are: (1) the notion that by God or Substance Spinoza meant the totality of existing things ; and (2) the notion that by God or Substance Spinoza meant the one reality of which all finite entities are delusive appearences." (S. 60)
