QUESTION 136

OF PATIENCE

(In Five Articles)

We must now consider patience. Under this head there are five points

of inquiry:

(1) Whether patience is a virtue?

(2) Whether it is the greatest of the virtues?

(3) Whether it can be had without grace?

(4) Whether it is a part of fortitude?

(5) Whether it is the same as longanimity?
