P17: God/Nature is without passions, and is not affected with any affect of Joy or Sadness.

Dem.: All ideas, insofar as they are related to God/Nature, are true (by IIP32), i.e. (by IID4), adequate. And so (by Gen. Def. Aff.), God/Nature is without passions.

Next, God/Nature can pass neither to a greater nor a lesser perfection, (by IP20 C2); hence (by Defs. Aff. II, III) he is not affected with any affect of Joy or Sadness, q.e.d.

Cor.: Strictly speaking, God/Nature loves no one, and hates no one. For God/Nature (by P17) is not affected with any affect of Joy or Sadness. Consequently (by Defs. Aff. VI, VII), he also loves no one and hates no one.
