Ans. aThe Schoolmen say, that an action proceedeth from charity two ways, either elicitivè, or imperativè: and that those actions which are immediately produced and wrought out by charity, belong not to other virtues distinct from charity, but are comprehended under the effects of charity it self, such as are the loving of good, and rejoicing •o it: other actions say they, which are only commanded by charity, belong to other special virtues distinct from charity; So say I, an action may proceed from a civill power either elicitivé, or imperativè. Elicitivè a civill power can only make Laws about things civill or human: but imperativé, it may command the Ecclesiastical power to make Laws about things spiritual, which Laws thereafter it may command to be observed by all who are in Sect. XXVIII the Church.
