Qui in aliquem amore aut spe gloriæ motus beneficium contulit, contristabitur si viderit beneficium ingrato animo accipi.
Whoever moved by love or hope of glory bears goodwill to someone, will be upset if one might see goodwill being received with an ungrateful heart.
DEMONSTRATIO: Qui rem aliquam sibi similem amat, conatur quantum potest efficere ut ab ipsa contra ametur (per propositionem 33 hujus). Qui igitur præ amore in aliquem beneficium contulit, id facit desiderio quo tenetur ut contra ametur hoc est (per propositionem 34 hujus) spe gloriæ sive (per scholium propositionis 30 hujus) lætitiæ adeoque (per propositionem 12 hujus) hanc gloriæ causam quantum potest imaginari sive ut actu existentem contemplari conabitur. At (per hypothesin) aliud imaginatur quod ejusdem causæ existentiam secludit : ergo (per propositionem 19 hujus) eo ipso contristabitur. Q.E.D.
Whoever loves someone similar to oneself, will try as much as possible to be able to effect that one might be loved in return from the other (by IIIP33 [Reciprocity of Likeness]). Thus whoever bears goodwill towards another on behalf of love, desire makes it in what way it is held so that one might be loved in return that is (by IIIP34 [The More We Do the More We Try]) by hope of glory (by IIIP30S [Looking At Others Looking At Us]) or joy to such an extent (by IIIP12 [Conatus of Mind]) to be imagined this cause of glory as much as possible or will try to contemplate its existence in reality. But (by hypothesis) one imagines something which excludes the cause of its own existence: thus (by IIIP19 [Impact on Loved One]) will be upset by that itself.
