QUESTION 176

OF THE GRACE OF TONGUES

(In Two Articles)

We must now consider those gratuitous graces that pertain to speech,

and (1) the grace of tongues; (2) the grace of the word of wisdom and

knowledge. Under the first head there are two points of inquiry:

(1) Whether by the grace of tongues a man acquires the knowledge of

all languages?

(2) Of the comparison between this gift and the grace of prophecy.
