Question 102 — Of the Causes of the Ceremonial Precepts

We must now consider the causes of the ceremonial precepts: under which head there are six points of inquiry:

(1) Whether there was any cause for the ceremonial precepts?

• (2) Whether the cause of the ceremonial precepts was literal or figurative?
• (3) The causes of the sacrifices;
• (4) The causes of the sacraments;
• (5) The causes of the sacred things;
• (6) The causes of the observances.
