Paragraph
1 1 | the original dignity of nature, vouchsafed special assistance
2 1 | manner, this great gift of nature has ever been, and always
3 3 | which is the trusty voice of nature, recognizes this natural
4 5 | intelligence. Considered as to its nature, it is the faculty of choosing
5 6 | as a slave. But man is by nature rational. When, therefore,
6 6 | live in accordance with his nature, that is, in justice and
7 7 | right or wrong of its own nature, but also what is practically
8 7 | because man is free by nature, he is therefore exempt
9 7 | we are free by our very nature. For, law is the guide of
10 8 | therefore, that the law of nature is the same thing as the
11 8 | in conformity with their nature. As the Angelic Doctor points
12 8 | comes from the Author of nature that it is so admirably
13 9 | good or bad by its very nature; and they command men to
14 9 | society did not create human nature, so neither can it be said
15 9 | good which befits human nature, or of the evil which is
16 9 | which belongs to the law of nature and the eternal law. And
17 9 | points which the law of nature treats only in a general
18 9 | way. For instance, though nature commands all to contribute
19 9 | wisdom of men and not by nature herself. It is in the constitution
20 9 | conformity with the dictates of nature, leading to what is good,
21 11| 11. Therefore, the nature of human liberty, however
22 15| plainly repugnant to the nature, not only of man, but of
23 15| the perfection of every nature to contain itself within

26 17| presumptuous as to define the nature and extent of God's rights
27 18| a position is manifest. Nature herself proclaims the necessity

29 21| what was wanting to his nature, and beyond his attainment
30 22| that liberty of so false a nature is greatly hurtful to the
31 23| is absurd to suppose that nature has accorded indifferently
32 24| perfection of every intelligent nature; and therefore nothing but
33 25| such as the principles of nature and whatever is derived
34 27| revelation and those of nature cannot really be opposed
35 29| this may be understood the nature and character of that liberty
36 36| man, by a necessity of his nature, is wholly subject to the
37 38| the world, inasmuch as all nature is dependent on His will,
38 40| they despoil her of the nature and rights of a perfect
39 40| opinion they pervert the nature of this divine society,
40 42| so many rights given by nature to man. For, if nature had
