     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. 4563 2, 87 | belongs to religion by reason of the former, and not of 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. ~ 4566 2, 87 | God, so that for this very reason ~a vow is an act of religion. 4567 2, 87 | oath does not, for this reason, become an act of religion, ~ 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, 4573 2, 89 | speaking to God, for one reason, and in ~speaking to man, 4574 2, 89 | speaking to man, for another reason. For when speaking to man 4575 2, 90 | wherein there is the same reason of multiplicity.~Aquin.: 4576 2, 91 | delivered it." For this reason, too, a gloss on Col. 2: 4577 2, 91 | can be ~superstition by reason of excess even in the worship 4578 2, 92 | world to be one god, not by reason of its material substance, 4579 2, 92 | material substance, but by ~reason of its soul, which they 4580 2, 92 | the world by movement and reason: ~even as a man is said 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 4585 2, 93 | can be ~foreknown by human reason: nor again if anyone knows 4586 2, 93 | always a sin; and for this reason Jerome says ~in his commentary 4587 2, 93 | demon ~invoked. The second reason is gathered from the result. 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 4590 2, 93 | will, since it is in the reason, as the Philosopher shows ~( 4591 2, 93 | the sensitive powers obey reason, as the Philosopher shows ( 4592 2, 93 | and man is able, by his reason, to act counter to the inclination 4593 2, 93 | these ~inclinations by their reason. The result is that astrologers 4594 2, 93 | water or snow: and for ~this reason physicians say that we should 4595 2, 93 | and witchcraft. For which reason we wish them ~to be condemned 4596 2, 94 | in two ways. First, by ~reason of the genus of the deed, 4597 2, 94 | stated above (A[1]), the reason why it is ~wrong to inquire 4598 2, 94 | certain occult forces, the reason of which man is unable to 4599 2, 94 | observances are devoid of reason and art, ~wherefore they 4600 2, 95 | the means at hand, without reason he ~chooses a dangerous 4601 2, 96 | of ~an oath: and for this reason, that perversity in swearing, 4602 2, 96 | a lack of truth, for the reason stated in the ~Article. 4603 2, 96 | unlawful, for this very ~reason he is guilty of falsehood, 4604 2, 96 | it, they are not for this reason to be punished as for a 4605 2, 96 | that an action which is, by reason of its very nature, a venial 4606 2, 96 | stated above (A[2]), the reason why it is sinful is because 4607 2, 96 | not sinned ~mortally. The reason why the law attaches infamy 4608 2, 97 | due to a ~sacred thing by reason of its holiness: and consequently 4609 2, 98 | with ~her": and for this reason Peter, in condemning the 4610 2, 98 | viii, 5): and so for this reason ~simoniacs are reckoned 4611 2, 98 | spiritual grace. For this reason it is unlawful for him to 4612 2, 98 | first-born was due to Jacob by reason of God's choice, ~according 4613 2, 98 | benefice, to decide, for some reason, to retain part of the revenues 4614 2, 98 | ecclesiastical benefice by reason of ~the devotion that led 4615 2, 98 | service, as he would by reason of ~any other good deed. 4616 2, 98 | thing gratis on a person by ~reason of kinship or of any carnal 4617 2, 99 | the common ~people; the reason for which I consider to 4618 2, 99 | support we owe them; and the ~reason for this is that support 4619 2, 100 | moral debt, which is due by reason of a certain honesty: it ~ 4620 2, 100 | positions of dignity. For this reason piety takes ~precedence 4621 2, 101 | the power to create by ~reason of which latria is due to 4622 2, 101 | Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 2: The reason why we love our neighbor 4623 2, 101 | manner, ~since there is one reason for serving God and another 4624 2, 101 | image of ~God, for which reason it is honored, so too in 4625 2, 101 | Invent. Rhet. ~ii), for the reason that a servant reveres his 4626 2, 101 | which is due to a man by ~reason of his having an affinity 4627 2, 102 | good deeds, for this ~very reason his good deeds would be 4628 2, 102 | authority. Now to move by reason and will is to ~command. 4629 2, 102 | s merit is not ~for that reason diminished, especially before 4630 2, 102 | deeds that have ~a special reason of praise: for it belongs 4631 2, 102 | aspect of praiseworthiness by reason of its ~object. For while 4632 2, 102 | of divine authority, by reason of which the power to command 4633 2, 104 | virtues, since they ~are the reason for which man is loved. 4634 2, 104 | Therefore for the same reason he is bound to greater thanksgiving.~ 4635 2, 104 | recipient should not for that reason withhold his ~thanks. Yet 4636 2, 104 | unless it be ~regulated by reason; wherefore it is not praiseworthy 4637 2, 105 | to ~repay, for the very reason that the mere will suffices 4638 2, 105 | received." ~Now, seemingly, the reason why the giver should forget 4639 2, 105 | happen to be a mortal sin, by reason either ~of inward contempt, 4640 2, 106 | to remove harm, for which reason animals have the irascible 4641 2, 106 | animals, ~which are devoid of reason, were commanded to be slain 4642 2, 107 | ways. First, for that by reason ~of which a thing is said 4643 2, 107 | less. Hence for the very reason that a man says ~what is 4644 2, 108 | statement is an act of ~reason comparing sign with the 4645 2, 108 | is the proper act of the ~reason. Wherefore though dumb animals 4646 2, 108 | is accidental ~for which reason it cannot be a specific 4647 2, 108 | which pertains to a thing by reason of its nature, as the ~Philosopher 4648 2, 108 | itself contrary to charity by reason of its false ~signification. 4649 2, 108 | be contrary to charity by reason of scandal or any other 4650 2, 108 | species, ~except perhaps by reason of something annexed to 4651 2, 110 | often its ~cause. For this reason Gregory reckons boasting 4652 2, 110 | gain, and for this very reason he would seem to be aiming 4653 2, 111 | which is ~acquired by human reason, while the "wisdom of the 4654 2, 111 | respects, and for ~this reason they sin more grievously. 4655 2, 111 | themselves": and for the same ~reason it is related of Augustine 4656 2, 112 | unto repentance." For this reason we should not show a ~cheerful 4657 2, 112 | unless at times, for some reason, it be necessary to ~displease 4658 2, 112 | fellow-men; unless some reason should oblige ~him to sadden 4659 2, 112 | have their ~origin in the reason, in so far as one man behaves 4660 2, 113 | in three ways. First, by reason ~of the very matter, as 4661 2, 113 | evil good." Secondly, by reason of the intention, as when 4662 2, 114 | contradiction ~arises by reason of the speaker being a person 4663 2, 114 | man has its source in his reason: wherefore ~the sins of 4664 2, 114 | whereby the flesh enslaves the reason, are viler, ~although spiritual 4665 2, 114 | certain falseness of the reason, although sins that are 4666 2, 115 | said to be liberal for the reason that ~he gives something 4667 2, 115 | his proper act. For this reason, too, ~he does not give 4668 2, 115 | aforesaid goods. For by reason of his not ~being a lover 4669 2, 115 | all others. For the same reason he ~becomes famous.~ 4670 2, 116 | is sustained (for which reason they are ~spoken of as his 4671 2, 116 | regulated according to ~reason, which is the governing 4672 2, 116 | exceed this due measure of reason with regard to riches. ~( 4673 2, 116 | appoints the measure of reason, principally in the interior ~ 4674 2, 116 | depends on the rule of ~reason.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[118] A[ 4675 2, 116 | kind of covetousness by reason of imperfection of the ~ 4676 2, 116 | together with mortal sins, by ~reason of the aspect under which 4677 2, 116 | 10:10) it is ~given as a reason that the covetous man "setteth 4678 2, 116 | Holy Ghost is incurable ~by reason of contempt: for instance, 4679 2, 116 | the flesh. Nevertheless by reason of its object it is a mean 4680 2, 116 | says (De Consol. iii): the ~reason of which, according to the 4681 2, 116 | perfected in accordance with reason, but vice is ~perfected 4682 2, 116 | sensitive appetite. ~Now reason and sensitive appetite do 4683 2, 116 | the principal good of the reason, yet ~covetousness is a 4684 2, 116 | sensible goods, for the reason given in ~the Article.~Aquin.: 4685 2, 116 | to result from a lack of ~reason. Hence the Philosopher says ( 4686 2, 117 | not easily cured, for the ~reason given above (Q[118], A[5], 4687 2, 117 | prudence alone, ~for this very reason it is deemed less grievous.~ 4688 2, 120 | the Law: and the natural reason assents to them at once, 4689 2, 120 | Body Para. 2/2~For this reason the precept forbidding superstition 4690 2, 120 | hallowing of the Sabbath the reason for it is ~given: "For in 4691 2, 120 | according to the dictate of reason, man sets aside a ~certain 4692 2, 120 | God's service. For this ~reason, according to Jn. 7:23, " 4693 2, 120 | be ~broken": and for this reason too we read (Mt. 12:5), 4694 2, 120 | health of the body. For this reason the Machabees did not profane 4695 2, 120 | Sabbath. For this ~same reason our Lord (Mt. 12:3) excused 4696 2, 120 | which is to come." And with reason. Because the man ~who is 4697 2, 120 | bound for some special ~reason, so too by justice properly 4698 2, 120 | that is due for any special reason - it was ~necessary in due 4699 2, 121 | to be in accordance ~with reason, according to Dionysius ( 4700 2, 121 | make his work accord with ~reason. This happens in three ways: 4701 2, 121 | ways: first, by rectifying reason itself, ~and this is done 4702 2, 121 | establishing ~the rectitude of reason in human affairs, and this 4703 2, 121 | following the rectitude of reason. First, through being drawn 4704 2, 121 | than what the rectitude of reason ~requires; and this obstacle 4705 2, 121 | which is in ~accordance with reason, on account of some difficulty 4706 2, 121 | far as it conforms ~man to reason.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[123] A[ 4707 2, 121 | inclination to virtue by ~reason of his natural temperament, 4708 2, 121 | will from following ~the reason. Now to be withdrawn from 4709 2, 121 | will from following the reason. And it behooves ~one not 4710 2, 121 | will from the course ~of reason, except in so far as they 4711 2, 121 | withdrawn from the good of ~reason through fear of bodily evil. 4712 2, 121 | hold firmly ~the good of reason against every evil whatsoever, 4713 2, 121 | equivalent to the good of the reason. Hence fortitude of soul 4714 2, 121 | will firmly to the good of reason in face of the ~greatest 4715 2, 121 | consists in exceeding right reason: ~wherefore to undergo the 4716 2, 121 | dangers in accordance with reason is ~not contrary to virtue.~ 4717 2, 121 | warlike actions, for which reason they ~are said to have been 4718 2, 121 | we consider the good of reason. Now the ~principal act 4719 2, 121 | of fortitude prevents the reason from being entirely ~overcome 4720 2, 121 | more imperfect. ~Now the reason is competent to achieve 4721 2, 121 | Seneca says (De Ira i): "Reason by ~itself suffices not 4722 2, 121 | there greater folly than for reason to seek ~help from anger? 4723 2, 121 | soul albeit modified by reason. ~And possibly they differed 4724 2, 121 | moved by the ~command of reason, so that it may cooperate 4725 2, 121 | according to the dictate of reason. ~On the other hand, the 4726 2, 121 | or diseases, and for this reason severed them altogether 4727 2, 121 | moderated in accordance with reason is ~subject to the command 4728 2, 121 | subject to the command of reason: so that man uses it at 4729 2, 121 | 2 Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 2: Reason employs anger for its action, 4730 2, 121 | endurance, because the reason by itself performs this 4731 2, 121 | which is in accordance with reason, both by ~the pleasing good 4732 2, 121 | directed to the good of reason which it behooves ~to safeguard 4733 2, 121 | withstands, and to the good of ~reason, as the end, which it intends 4734 2, 121 | virtue the greater it is. Now reason's good is man's good, according 4735 2, 121 | since it is a perfection of reason, ~has the good essentially: 4736 2, 121 | to establish the order of reason in all human affairs: ~whereas 4737 2, 121 | they lead man away from reason's good. As to the order ~ 4738 2, 121 | recede from the good of ~reason: and after fortitude comes 4739 2, 121 | in hindering the good of reason. Now to be a thing ~essentially 4740 2, 122 | safeguard man in the good of reason. Now the good of reason 4741 2, 122 | reason. Now the good of reason consists ~in the truth as 4742 2, 122 | should act according to reason. And this observation ~would 4743 2, 122 | of ~fortitude; for which reason the Church reads in the 4744 2, 122 | fortitude as eliciting. For this reason also it manifests both virtues. ~ 4745 2, 122 | of ~virtue: and for this reason it avails not without charity.~ 4746 2, 122 | in Heb. 10:34, for which ~reason we celebrate the martyrdom 4747 2, 122 | cause of martyrdom. For this reason the ~Church celebrates the 4748 2, 123 | subject to the ruling of reason. And reason dictates that ~ 4749 2, 123 | the ruling of reason. And reason dictates that ~certain things 4750 2, 123 | shunned. The result is that reason dictates that ~certain goods 4751 2, 123 | appetite shuns what the reason dictates ~that we should 4752 2, 123 | fears so as to shun what reason requires to be shunned, 4753 2, 123 | inculcates is in accordance with ~reason, namely that servants should 4754 2, 123 | 3 Para. 1/1~Reply OBJ 3: Reason dictates that we should 4755 2, 123 | OBJ 2: Further, the chief reason why a man is commended for 4756 2, 123 | dangers of death. For this reason timidity is said to be ~ 4757 2, 123 | be shunned ~according to reason. Now sometimes this inordinateness 4758 2, 123 | something against the dictate of reason: and this inordinateness 4759 2, 123 | counter to the order of reason. Now reason judges certain 4760 2, 123 | the order of reason. Now reason judges certain evils to ~ 4761 2, 123 | shunned in order to avoid what reason judges to be more ~avoided: 4762 2, 123 | evils which according to reason are less to be avoided, ~ 4763 2, 123 | evils which according to reason are more to be avoided, 4764 2, 124 | be wholly lost: for which reason the Apostle says ~(Eph. 4765 2, 124 | less than he ought, for the reason that he loves ~them* less 4766 2, 124 | should then read: For the reason that he loves ~himself less 4767 2, 124 | through a defect in the reason; thus the ~Philosopher says ( 4768 2, 124 | account of pride, or by reason of folly. Now lack of due 4769 2, 124 | moderate his fear according to reason, namely that he ~should 4770 2, 124 | forth. Now this mode ~of reason may be corrupted either 4771 2, 124 | anyhow, but according to reason: this the fearless ~man 4772 2, 125 | sometimes moderated according to reason, and ~sometimes it lacks 4773 2, 125 | that which is moderated by ~reason, for in that sense it belongs 4774 2, 125 | counsel, ~which is an act of reason.
