  1   1, 4   |            all ~creatures the most excellent are those which are called
  2   1, 6   |          must be in Him ~in a most excellent way; and therefore He is
  3   1, 12  |          mind is not fixed on that excellent light unless purified by ~
  4   1, 12  |          is not given to us a more excellent knowledge of God by ~grace.~
  5   1, 12  |         according as many and more excellent of His ~effects are demonstrated
  6   1, 12  |          we have so much the more ~excellent intellectual knowledge,
  7   1, 13  |            in God," and in a ~more excellent and higher way. Hence it
  8   1, 13  |       these exist in Him in a more excellent way. ~Hence as regards what
  9   1, 14  |     contrary, Whatever is the more excellent must be attributed to ~God.
 10   1, 14  |      speculative knowledge is more excellent than practical ~knowledge,
 11   1, 20  |          Peter more, from his more excellent ~gift of charity; but John
 12   1, 22  |            just in a ~certain more excellent way than over the wicked;
 13   1, 25  |         Further, charity is a more excellent virtue than virginity. But ~
 14   1, 26  |            things belong in a most excellent manner to God, ~namely,
 15   1, 29  |          creatures, but in a ~more excellent way; as other names also,
 16   1, 45  |        change is more ~perfect and excellent when the term "whereto"
 17   1, 45  |          change is more noble ~and excellent, although the term "wherefrom,"
 18   1, 45  |            simply nobler and ~more excellent than alteration, because
 19   1, 45  |      creation ~is more perfect and excellent than generation and alteration,
 20   1, 57  |            Incarnation is the most excellent of all mysteries. But ~the
 21   1, 57  |             was revealed in a more excellent way to the angels. And ~
 22   1, 63  |       formed - He who was the more excellent than the ~rest in nature,
 23   1, 46  |        change is more ~perfect and excellent when the term "whereto"
 24   1, 46  |          change is more noble ~and excellent, although the term "wherefrom,"
 25   1, 46  |            simply nobler and ~more excellent than alteration, because

 27   1, 58  |            Incarnation is the most excellent of all mysteries. But ~the
 28   1, 58  |             was revealed in a more excellent way to the angels. And ~
 29   1, 64  |       formed - He who was the more excellent than the ~rest in nature,
 30   1, 77  |         things, although in a more excellent and more ~universal manner;
 31   1, 81  |        other ends this is the most excellent: as also is the ~intellect
 32   1, 83  |           power operates in a more excellent manner those things which ~
 33   1, 83  |         creatures exist ~in a more excellent way in the soul than in
 34   1, 83  |          intellectual soul is more excellent than corporeal ~primary
 35   1, 83  |          acts is in every way more excellent than that which it ~acts
 36   1, 93  |      phantasms, but ~by a far more excellent process, as we have said
 37   1, 93  |         Nevertheless he had a more excellent mode of knowledge ~regarding
 38   1, 101 |           was situated in the most excellent part of the ~earth. Now
 39   1, 105 |             though there are ~some excellent gifts, yet nothing is held
 40   1, 107 |          belongs to man in a more ~excellent way than to other animals.~
 41   1, 107 |             And although these two excellent attributes include ~the
 42   1, 107 |          Seraphim," and in a more ~excellent way, as above explained.~
 43   1, 109 |            same way, but in a more excellent way; for example, ~the intellect
 44   1, 109 |          sensible things in a more excellent way than sense ~knows them.
 45   1, 109 |         corporeal matter in a more excellent ~way than can corporeal
 46   1, 114 |           the cause is always more excellent than the ~effect. Likewise,
 47   2, 2   |         not that honor makes ~them excellent.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[2] A[2]
 48   2, 2   |          he believes himself to be excellent or happy.~Aquin.: SMT FS
 49   2, 2   |      additional perfection is more excellent. Hence in the same passage ~
 50   2, 3   |         also. For there is no more excellent operation in man than that
 51   2, 3   |          must needs be man's ~most excellent operation. But the love
 52   2, 3   |            of the ~will, is a more excellent operation than knowledge,
 53   2, 9   |            move and to act is more excellent than to be passive," ~as
 54   2, 9   |        sensitive appetite is ~less excellent than the will which is the
 55   2, 9   |             just as ~sense is less excellent than intellect. Therefore
 56   2, 9   |           itself, ~from being less excellent in a certain respect. Accordingly
 57   2, 9   |           the will is ~simply more excellent than the sensitive appetite:
 58   2, 9   |         sensitive appetite is more excellent.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[9] A[2]
 59   2, 22  |            stated that when a more excellent ~thing is generated from
 60   2, 22  |           is generated from a less excellent, we have generation simply,
 61   2, 22  |            case, when ~from a more excellent thing, a less excellent
 62   2, 22  |            excellent thing, a less excellent is generated. In these ~
 63   2, 32  |     imagine himself to be wise and excellent; ~since it belongs to wise
 64   2, 37  |          since ~reason is the most excellent thing in man. Moreover,
 65   2, 47  |          is evident that the ~more excellent a man is, the more unjust
 66   2, 51  |    principle, proceeds from a more excellent principle than ~is the habit
 67   2, 51  |            as the reason is a more excellent ~principle than the habit
 68   2, 51  |        first principles is a more ~excellent principle than the science
 69   2, 57  |          the liberal arts be more ~excellent, does it follow that the
 70   2, 63  |         These principles ~are more excellent than the virtues acquired
 71   2, 63  |     speculative principles is more excellent than the ~science of conclusions,
 72   2, 63  |   rectitude of the reason is more ~excellent than the rectification of
 73   2, 64  |            to the ~'best' and the 'excellent,'" viz. as to its conformity
 74   2, 65  |     virtues, they seem to be more ~excellent than even the infused moral
 75   2, 66  |       since a cause is always more excellent than its ~effect; and among
 76   2, 66  |            the cause are the most ~excellent. Now it is clear from what
 77   2, 66  |           Further, the end is more excellent than the means. But according ~
 78   2, 66  |    Therefore moral virtue is more ~excellent than prudence, which is
 79   2, 66  |       rational by ~essence is more excellent than rational by participation.
 80   2, 66  |       simply, that ~virtue is more excellent, which has the more excellent
 81   2, 66  |      excellent, which has the more excellent object. Now it is ~evident
 82   2, 66  |       object of the reason is more excellent than the object ~of the
 83   2, 66  |       perfect the reason, are more excellent than the moral ~virtues,
 84   2, 66  |        above (Q[9], A[1]), is more excellent. And since ~virtue is so
 85   2, 66  |     intellectual ~virtues are more excellent habits, simply speaking.~
 86   2, 66  |         proves that they are more ~excellent, not simply, but relatively.
 87   2, 66  |      referred to an end, are more ~excellent. The reason for this is
 88   2, 66  |         that "justice is the ~most excellent of the virtues."~Aquin.:
 89   2, 66  |            way justice is the most excellent of all the moral virtues,
 90   2, 66  |        Hence "justice is the ~most excellent of virtues" (Ethic. v, 1).
 91   2, 66  |       about the passions, the more excellent the matter in which the ~
 92   2, 66  |          even as substance is more excellent simply ~than accident: and
 93   2, 66  |       particular accident is more ~excellent than substance in so far
 94   2, 66  |            it is ~more perfect and excellent through plucking up the
 95   2, 66  |    knowledge of principles is more excellent than knowledge ~of conclusions.
 96   2, 66  |          man, to love them is more excellent than to know ~them. Because
 97   2, 66  |         which is above man is more excellent in itself than in man: since
 98   2, 67  |             Because faith ~is more excellent than science. Now science
 99   2, 67  |         Reply OBJ 1: Faith is more excellent than science, on the part
100   2, 67  |           human appetite in a more excellent ~manner than the moral virtues.
101   2, 68  |         one, seems to be the ~most excellent gift.~Aquin.: SMT FS Q[68]
102   2, 68  |      inquiry. But judgment is more excellent than inquiry. ~Therefore
103   2, 68  |      Therefore knowledge is a more excellent gift than counsel; and yet
104   2, 68  |       reason. But reason is a more excellent power than the ~appetite.
105   2, 68  |      Therefore knowledge is a more excellent gift than fortitude; ~and
106   2, 68  |   enumeration begins with the more excellent gifts, here, with ~the lower
107   2, 68  |    knowledge, and counsel are more excellent than piety, ~fortitude,
108   2, 68  |            as though it ~were more excellent than the others. Because,
109   2, 68  |      judgment, yet counsel is more excellent by reason of its matter:
110   2, 68  |            to the reason are more ~excellent than the executive gifts,
111   2, 68  |       Whether the virtues are more excellent than the gifts? ~Aquin.:
112   2, 68  |          that the virtues are more excellent than the gifts. ~For Augustine
113   2, 68  |            No gift ~of God is more excellent than this. It is this alone
114   2, 68  |        Therefore a virtue is more ~excellent than the gifts of the Holy
115   2, 68  |       naturally, seems to be more ~excellent. Now the virtues precede
116   2, 68  |     Therefore the virtues are more excellent than the gifts.~Aquin.:
117   2, 68  |     Therefore the virtues are more excellent ~than the gifts of the Holy
118   2, 68  |      Therefore the ~gifts are more excellent than the virtues.~Aquin.:
119   2, 68  |      intellectual virtues are more excellent than the moral virtues and ~
120   2, 68  |       theological virtues are more excellent than the ~gifts of the Holy
121   2, 68  |        exalted the mover, the more excellent the disposition whereby
122   2, 69  |            But the gifts are more ~excellent than the cardinal virtues,
123   2, 69  |           and by a gift, in a more excellent way, ~so that he despises
124   2, 69  |          and by a gift, in a ~more excellent manner, so that man, according
125   2, 70  |          be something perfect and ~excellent. Hence all the beatitudes
126   2, 73  |        sinner is held to be a more excellent ~person."~Aquin.: SMT FS
127   2, 73  |           according as ~he is more excellent. Four reasons may be assigned
128   2, 73  |             First, ~because a more excellent person, e.g. one who excels
129   2, 77  |         sense of sight is the most excellent of all the senses, ~and
130   2, 80  |          more ~spiritual, are more excellent than those which are in
131   2, 91  |            providence in the ~most excellent way, in so far as it partakes
132   2, 98  |          God giveth ~thee not this excellent land in possession for thy
133   2, 99  |             the Divine law is more excellent than human law. Now, in ~
134   2, 111 |           that justice is the most excellent of the virtues," since by
135   2, 111 |           shew unto you yet a more excellent way"; ~and as the sequel
136   2, 111 |      virtue is ordained, the ~more excellent is the virtue. Now the end
137   2, 111 |            that enlightens is more excellent than that of ~an object
138   2, 111 |           needs not to be the more excellent, even as in fire, the heat, ~
139   2, 7   |         rational ~creature is more excellent than all transient and corporeal
140   2, 8   |    understanding is something more excellent ~than the intellectual virtue
141   2, 8   |      cognitive virtue is the more ~excellent, according to the greater
142   2, 9   |          gift of knowledge is more excellent than acquired ~knowledge.
143   2, 22  |          habit, since it is a more excellent thing than the soul ~itself:
144   2, 22  |        whereas no accident is more excellent than its subject. Therefore ~
145   2, 22  |        Whether charity is the most excellent of the virtues?~Aquin.:
146   2, 22  |            charity is not the most excellent of the ~virtues. Because
147   2, 22  |            the intellect, is more ~excellent than charity which is in
148   2, 22  |      another works seems the less ~excellent of the two, even as a servant,
149   2, 22  |            Therefore faith is more excellent than charity.~Aquin.: SMT
150   2, 22  |             Therefore hope is more excellent than charity.~Aquin.: SMT
151   2, 22  |            object is God, are more excellent ~than the moral, or the
152   2, 22  |         Him. Hence charity is more excellent than faith or ~hope, and,
153   2, 22  |            attains reason, is more excellent than the other moral ~virtues,
154   2, 22  |          beneath the soul are more excellent in the ~soul than they are
155   2, 22  |           above the soul, are more excellent in themselves than they
156   2, 22  |         Therefore charity is more ~excellent than faith.~Aquin.: SMT
157   2, 23  |          show unto ~you yet a more excellent way."~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[24]
158   2, 23  |           that charity is the most excellent of the virtues. Yet not
159   2, 23  |         does not conduce to a more excellent charity, rather does it
160   2, 25  |      father is principle in a more excellent way than the ~mother, because
161   2, 25  |            the character of a more excellent good, ~secondly by reason
162   2, 25  |            the character of a more excellent good, as ~stated above with
163   2, 27  |          who ~love Him by His most excellent effect, according to 1 Jn.
164   2, 27  |        from charity. One, the more excellent, is proper to charity; and
165   2, 30  |       because the offering is more excellent, since ~it is a spiritual
166   2, 30  |         because the spirit is more excellent ~than the body, wherefore,
167   2, 30  |           spiritual acts ~are more excellent than corporal acts, which
168   2, 43  |         the gift of wisdom is more excellent than the wisdom ~which is
169   2, 43  |           wisdom as a gift is more excellent than wisdom as an ~intellectual
170   2, 45  |     follows that prudence is ~more excellent than the moral virtues,
171   2, 45  |           Further, faith is a more excellent virtue than prudence. But ~
172   2, 45  |      account of its object is more excellent than prudence, ~yet prudence,
173   2, 53  |         sin. For ~prudence is more excellent than the other moral virtues,
174   2, 56  |       nothing is adorned by a less excellent thing than ~itself. Now
175   2, 56  |     Therefore magnanimity is more ~excellent than justice.~Aquin.: SMT
