Part, Question
4501 2, 83 | 1~I answer that, Natural reason tells man that he is subject
4502 2, 83 | is a dictate of natural reason in accordance with man's
4503 2, 83 | is a dictate of natural ~reason that man should use certain
4504 2, 83 | by man, and this is the reason for their difference.~Aquin.:
4505 2, 83 | connected with them. Perhaps the reason why we read of no sacrifice
4506 2, 83 | reverence for God; and ~for this reason it belongs to a definite
4507 2, 84 | character of ~rent. Secondly, by reason of a previous assignment
4508 2, 84 | they do so for no other reason than that ~they may make
4509 2, 84 | manner, and for the same reason, it can be called ~an oblation,
4510 2, 84 | were offered for a special reason, ~namely, in recognition
4511 2, 84 | the dictate of natural reason. Hence taken in a general
4512 2, 85 | precepts, because natural reason does not dictate that one ~
4513 2, 85 | Law tithes were ~given, by reason not of a precept but of
4514 2, 85 | instilled in the natural reason; and partly judicial, deriving
4515 2, 85 | institution. Because natural reason dictates that the ~people
4516 2, 85 | portion. For this very reason no particular portion was
4517 2, 85 | desuetude, or for some other reason. ~Nevertheless those who
4518 2, 85 | people there was a ~special reason why the Old Law did not
4519 2, 85 | things, ~except perhaps by reason of the custom of one's country.~
4520 2, 85 | may receive them. Another reason applies to other religious,
4521 2, 85 | are ~somewhat exempt by reason of various concessions granted
4522 2, 85 | wherefore for the ~same reason the clergy are bound now
4523 2, 85 | demanded them. For natural reason dictates that he who has ~
4524 2, 85 | Hence the poor have no reason for ~accepting tithes, but
4525 2, 86 | promise" is an act of the reason. Therefore a vow consists
4526 2, 86 | which ~is an act of the reason to which faculty it belongs
4527 2, 86 | 2: Man's will moves the reason to promise something relating ~
4528 2, 86 | Holy Ghost; and for this ~reason he is reckoned among the
4529 2, 86 | among the saints, as also by reason of the victory ~which he
4530 2, 86 | Wherefore Solomon gives the ~reason why vows should be paid
4531 2, 86 | belongs to religion, for the reason ~given above. Hence it is
4532 2, 86 | vows belong to religion by ~reason only of the promise made
4533 2, 86 | others belong thereto by reason also of the thing promised,
4534 2, 86 | De Simil. viii). For this reason, we thank even those who
4535 2, 86 | states (Eccl. Hier. vi). The reason of this is ~that solemnization
4536 2, 86 | vow who have the use of reason. But this ~is lacking in
4537 2, 86 | First, through defect of reason, as in madmen and ~imbeciles,
4538 2, 86 | instances they are lacking in reason, and besides are naturally ~
4539 2, 86 | human ~laws, that the use of reason is accelerated in some,
4540 2, 86 | they are not, for ~this reason, exempt in any way from
4541 2, 86 | not attained the use of reason can nowise bind ~themselves
4542 2, 86 | they attain the use of ~reason, before reaching the years
4543 2, 86 | yet reached the use of reason: for their vows then are
4544 2, 86 | worship of God: and for this reason it could not be ~changed:
4545 2, 86 | continency. As stated above, one reason for granting a ~dispensation
4546 2, 86 | Therefore for the ~same reason one may be dispensed from
4547 2, 86 | authority quoted above. The reason for this is assigned by
4548 2, 86 | body and soul. But this reason does not seem to be cogent
4549 2, 86 | absolutely considered seems no reason why the solemn ~vow thereof
4550 2, 86 | Sent. iv, D, 38] find the reason ~for this in the perpetuity
4551 2, 86 | Body Para. 3/4~For this reason others [*Innocent IV, on
4552 2, 86 | may, for some particular reason, inhibit him from ~exercising
4553 2, 86 | this division. For this reason the Church ~cannot dispense
4554 2, 86 | religious profession; and ~the reason assigned by the Decretal
4555 2, 86 | at ~their will, for the reason that every vow supposes
4556 2, 87 | receive ~confirmation from reason, which proceeds from principles
4557 2, 87 | confirmed by a necessary reason, wherefore propositions
4558 2, 87 | under the investigation of reason; for it would seem ~absurd
4559 2, 87 | witness, for some trifling reason, it would seemingly prove ~
4560 2, 87 | that justice regards ~the reason for swearing.~Aquin.: SMT
4561 2, 87 | to be more ~powerful, by reason of His unfailing truth and
4562 2, 87 | reverence to God. For this reason the Apostle ~says (Heb.

4564 2, 87 | Therefore for the same reason, to do or say a thing with
4565 2, 87 | bounds of necessity. For this reason Augustine says (De Serm. ~

4568 2, 87 | Chrysostom] says: "If there is a reason for swearing, it ~seems
4569 2, 87 | greatest reverence. For this reason children before ~the age
4570 2, 87 | attained the perfect use of reason, so as to be able to take
4571 2, 87 | due to it. For this same reason, in order that ~oaths might
4572 2, 87 | dignity to swear." For ~this reason the law says (II, qu. v,

4581 2, 92 | gods or of the demons by reason of the merit of their ~virtue.
4582 2, 92 | as quoted ~below]. The reason is that, as Augustine says (
4583 2, 92 | rather ~does man's natural reason dictate that there is one
4584 2, 93 | to God. It is for this ~reason that certain men are called

4588 2, 93 | the faculty of will ~and reason, escape the causality of
4589 2, 93 | bodies. For the intellect or ~reason is not a body, nor the act

4591 2, 93 | the sensitive powers obey reason, as the Philosopher shows (
