45 2, 153 | I answer that, The word "continence" is taken by various people
46 2, 153 | ways. For some understand continence to denote abstention from
47 2, 153 | thus the Apostle joins continence to chastity (Gal. ~5:23).
48 2, 153 | In this sense perfect continence is virginity in the first

57 2, 153 | touch are the matter of continence?~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[155] A[
58 2, 153 | touch are not the ~matter of continence. For Ambrose says (De Offic.

64 2, 153 | of animals or ~boys. But continence is not about such like things,
