Question 37 — Of the Effects of Pain or Sorrow

We must now consider the effects of pain or of sorrow: under which head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether pain deprives one of the power to learn?

• (2) Whether the effect of sorrow or pain is to burden the soul?
• (3) Whether sorrow or pain weakens all activity?
• (4) Whether sorrow is more harmful to the body than all the other passions of the soul?
