502 1, 116 | as helping the principal agent, but as helping the principal
503 1, 116 | as helping the principal agent, ~which is the interior
504 1, 116 | form save either by some agent composed ~of matter and
505 1, 117 | impossible: for thus an agent would act to its own destruction, ~
506 1, 117 | Now the more powerful an agent, the greater scope its action
507 1, 117 | power from the principal agent. And as it matters not whether
508 1, 117 | instrument or by the principal agent, so ~neither does it matter
509 1, 117 | principal but the instrumental agent; and ~the movement of an
510 1, 117 | it is one and the same agent whose action is directed
511 1, 117 | by the power of a higher ~agent, namely God enlightening (

514 2, 1 | first in the order of the agent's intention. And it is this
515 2, 1 | 1/2~I answer that, Every agent, of necessity, acts for
516 2, 1 | far as it is moved by an agent; for nothing reduces ~itself
517 2, 1 | potentiality to act. But an agent does not move except out
518 2, 1 | intention for an end. For if the agent were not determinate to
519 2, 1 | instrument to ~the principal agent, as stated above (FP, Q[
520 2, 1 | proceeds once from ~the agent, is ordained to but one
521 2, 1 | would the intention of the agent be at rest; ~while if there
522 2, 3 | One proceeds ~from the agent into outward matter, such
523 2, 3 | a perfection, not of the agent, but rather of the patient,
524 2, 3 | action that remains in the ~agent, such as to feel, to understand,
525 2, 3 | perfection and an act of the agent. And such an operation can
526 2, 5 | be withdrawn by any other agent. Because the mind that is
527 2, 5 | and consequently no other agent can ~sever the mind from
528 2, 5 | itself through the First Agent, which is God.~Aquin.: SMT
529 2, 5 | God. For since God is an agent of infinite power, ~He requires
530 2, 6 | movements is within the agent, or that which is moved;
531 2, 6 | some not. For since every agent or thing moved, ~acts or
532 2, 6 | a principle within" the agent, but also as implying "knowledge." ~
533 2, 6 | principle be ~within the agent, nevertheless it is not
534 2, 6 | from a principle within the agent.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[6] A[2]
535 2, 6 | principle be within the agent, together with some knowledge ~
536 2, 6 | voluntary; inasmuch as the agent apprehends the end, but
537 2, 6 | action is not always the agent as not acting; but only
538 2, 6 | but only then when the ~agent can and ought to act. For
539 2, 6 | movement is a voluntary agent. In like manner an act is
540 2, 6 | something, by an extrinsic agent, as long as the will to
541 2, 7 | relation to acts, belong to the agent ~otherwise than through
542 2, 7 | whereas ~others belong to the agent by reason of the act, as
543 2, 7 | inasmuch as it moves the ~agent to act. Wherefore the moral
544 2, 9 | subject itself is due to some agent. And since every ~agent
545 2, 9 | agent. And since every ~agent acts for an end, as was
546 2, 9 | of which is ~outside the agent" [*Aristotle, Ethic. iii,

548 2, 9 | and at another ~time an agent in potentiality, needs to

550 2, 9 | that is to say as proximate agent; but it cannot move ~itself
551 2, 9 | same way as some exterior agent moves the will, as to ~the
552 2, 9 | created by some particular agent.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[9] A[6]
553 2, 10 | naturally. ~For the natural agent is condivided with the voluntary
554 2, 10 | condivided with the voluntary agent, as stated ~at the beginning
555 2, 10 | necessity by God. For ~every agent that cannot be resisted
556 2, 11 | specifies an act: but on the agent depends the manner of ~acting,
557 2, 11 | actual circumstances of the agent. Therefore enjoyment of
558 2, 14 | instrument, for the principal agent ~and the instrument are,
559 2, 16 | compared to the principal agent. Now action is properly ~
560 2, 16 | instrument, but to the principal agent, as building ~is ascribed
561 2, 17 | intellectual appetite: for every agent desires an ~end in some
562 2, 18 | a ~thing depends on the agent, and the form, so the goodness
563 2, 18 | that the more universal an agent ~is, the more universal
564 2, 18 | the more universal the agent to which it corresponds; ~
565 2, 19 | more on the part of the agent.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[19] A[
566 2, 19 | as it is becoming to ~the agent: and this by way of imitation,
567 2, 20 | 1~On the contrary, Every agent intends to attain good and
568 2, 21 | its being imputed to the agent: since to praise or to blame ~
569 2, 21 | action is imputed to an agent, when it is in his ~power,
570 2, 21 | the power of the natural agent: ~since the action of nature
571 2, 21 | related to the person of the agent. ~Therefore not every good
572 2, 21 | good and perfection of the ~agent: while an inordinate action

574 2, 22 | its ~being drawn to the agent: and when a thing recedes
575 2, 22 | that which belongs to the agent. Now ~the soul is drawn
576 2, 22 | only on the power of the ~agent, but also on the passibility
577 2, 26 | Passion is the effect of the agent on the patient. Now a ~natural
578 2, 26 | patient. Now a ~natural agent produces a twofold effect
579 2, 28 | 1 ~I answer that, Every agent acts for an end, as stated
580 2, 28 | it is ~evident that every agent, whatever it be, does every

582 2, 31 | themselves a certain ~good of the agent, and are known by sense
583 2, 32 | proportionate and connatural to the agent. Now, since human power
584 2, 32 | the continued action of an agent increases its effect: ~thus

587 2, 33 | above ~(Q[4], A[2]): nor as agent, because rather is it the
588 2, 33 | presupposed. Secondly, as agent; not indeed ~directly, for
589 2, 33 | indirectly; inasmuch as the agent, through taking pleasure ~

595 2, 41 | passion of the soul due to the agent ~being present to the soul,

597 2, 51 | habit to be caused in an agent by its own acts.~Aquin.:
598 2, 51 | 1~I answer that, In the agent there is sometimes only
599 2, 51 | heating. And in such an agent a habit cannot be caused

607 2, 52 | an ~intense action of the agent, something is made more
608 2, 52 | of whiteness: hence the agent causes a new form in ~the

616 2, 60 | which it receives from the agent. But ~we must observe that
617 2, 60 | twofold ~relation to the agent. For sometimes it receives

627 2, 65 | power: for ~if the principal agent were well disposed, perfect

630 2, 72 | species and in genus. The "agent" and the "end" regard directly ~
631 2, 72 | and what is outside the agent's intention is ~accidental (
632 2, 73 | or the affection of ~the agent could not remain, unless

638 2, 85 | diminution is a passion. Now no ~agent is passive by the very reason
639 2, 85 | the inordinateness of the agent, we must say that ~such
640 2, 85 | discretion of the universal agent. And ~although every form
641 2, 85 | any matter, one which the agent chooses, and another which
642 2, 85 | which is not chosen ~by the agent, and is a natural condition

648 2, 95 | depends on the ability of the agent; because discipline should
649 2, 109 | manifest. For since every agent acts ~for an end, every

651 2, 111 | pertain to the inferior agent, and ~not to the principal
652 2, 111 | and ~not to the principal agent. But grace works in us more
653 2, 111 | when ~it is a secondary agent under a principal agent,
654 2, 111 | agent under a principal agent, but when it helps to the ~
655 2, 112 | action of the principal agent by its own power, but in
656 2, 112 | virtue ~of the principal agent. Hence Christ's humanity

662 2, 113 | the ~reason why a natural agent cannot suddenly dispose
663 2, 113 | disproportion with the power ~of the agent; and hence we see that the
664 2, 113 | see that the stronger the agent, the more ~speedily is the
665 2, 113 | But ~on the part of the agent it is the other way about,
666 2, 113 | other way about, since the agent, by ~the form pre-existing
667 2, 113 | follows the action of the agent, ~whereby the subject is
668 2, 113 | nought to ~cooperate with the agent, is greater than to make
669 2, 113 | nothing can cooperate with the agent; but ~in the justification
670 2, 1 | generation can take ~place, an agent, namely, and matter. In

672 2, 16 | efficient cause is the ~first agent, while the secondary efficient
673 2, 16 | secondary and ~instrumental agent. Now hope regards eternal

675 2, 22 | depends ~on the power of the agent, who instills the form,

677 2, 23 | Secondly, on the part of the agent, whose power does ~not extend
678 2, 25 | to its object and ~to the agent. But from its object it
679 2, 25 | from the ~power of the agent it takes the mode of its

681 2, 29 | such that every ~natural agent pours forth its activity
682 2, 41 | accidental when it is beside the ~agent's intention, as when a man
683 2, 43 | some undue end, since every agent acts for an end. Wherefore,
684 2, 45 | OBJ 2: Just as a natural agent makes form to be in matter,
685 2, 53 | account of the principal ~agent. Hence the flesh is loved
686 2, 55 | depends on its relation to the agent only, whereas the right
687 2, 55 | besides its relation to the agent, is set up by its ~relation
688 2, 55 | which it is done ~by the agent: whereas in the other virtues
689 2, 55 | in a certain way by the agent. For this reason ~justice
690 2, 56 | only in relation ~to the agent, but also in relation to
691 2, 57 | nature proceeds from an agent, whereas ~passion as such
692 2, 57 | respect cannot be both agent and patient, as stated in
693 2, 57 | the part of the will of agent ~and patient, as stated
694 2, 85 | giver and receiver, even as agent and ~patient, on account
695 2, 88 | own actions by ~some other agent. Now the action of what
696 2, 104 | directed to the end of the agent. Now it is evident that

698 2, 121 | proximate end of every agent is to introduce a likeness
699 2, 121 | introduce a likeness of that agent's ~form into something else:
700 2, 121 | called the remote end of ~the agent. Now just as in things made,
701 2, 121 | imperfect than the principal agent, even as the ~hammer is
702 2, 128 | commensurate with the power of the agent, nor does any natural agent ~
703 2, 128 | agent, nor does any natural agent ~strive to do what exceeds
704 2, 132 | or cut, or remain in the agent, ~as to understand or will.~

706 2, 140 | compulsion of an external agent, so that they are not ~simply
707 2, 150 | more by the mind of the agent. Now Abraham had a mind

710 2, 162 | is not according to the agent's choice; for, ~if the craftsman

731 3, 7 | rooted in the principal agent. Now ~the human nature in

739 3, 12 | knowledge caused by the natural agent.~Aquin.: SMT TP Q[12] A[
740 3, 13 | considered to come forth from the agent; but ~knowledge is not always

750 3, 19 | moved by the ~principal agent; and yet, besides this,
751 3, 19 | action of the ~principal agent; yet it may have another
752 3, 19 | that when a subordinate agent acts ~by its own form, the

754 3, 19 | distinct; but when the inferior agent acts only as moved by the ~
755 3, 19 | as moved by the ~superior agent, then the operation of the

759 3, 28 | of matter, but by way of ~agent: and the female alone supplies
760 3, 32 | operations - that of the agent and that ~of the patient.
761 3, 33 | the infinite power ~of the agent, viz. the Holy Ghost, by
