QUESTION 157

OF CLEMENCY AND MEEKNESS

(In Four Articles)

We must next consider clemency and meekness, and the contrary vices.

Concerning the virtues themselves there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether clemency and meekness are altogether identical?

(2) Whether each of them is a virtue?

(3) Whether each is a part of temperance?

(4) Of their comparison with the other virtues.
