Question 95 — Things Pertaining to the First Man’s Will

We next consider what belongs to the will of the first man; concerning which there are two points of treatment: (1) the grace and righteousness of the first man; (2) the use of righteousness as regards his dominion over other things.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the first man was created in grace?

  • (2) Whether in the state of innocence he had passions of the soul?
  • (3) Whether he had all virtues?
  • (4) Whether what he did would have been as meritorious as now?
