Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 6. Infinite sets

If we take S{u}S\{u\} to be the term P(u)\mathfrak{P}(u), and aa to be a set E, it follows likewise that there exists a mapping, denoted by n→Pn(E)n \to \mathfrak{P}^n(\mathrm{E}), of N\mathbf{N} into a set V(E) such that P0(E)=E\mathfrak{P}^0(\mathrm{E}) = \mathrm{E}, P1(E)=P(E)\mathfrak{P}^1(\mathrm{E}) = \mathfrak{P}(\mathrm{E}), and Pn+1(E)=P(Pn(E))\mathfrak{P}^{n+1}(\mathrm{E}) = \mathfrak{P}(\mathfrak{P}^n(\mathrm{E})) for every integer nn.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
