A. Seven.
1. Of parts which are bounded by quantity, as a body having one part upon another. 2. Of matter and form, as a man of body and soul. 3. Of general and special nature, as every species whose common nature may be found in some other thing, where the special nature is not, as a living creature and a man. 4. Of a subject and an accident, as every created substance. 5. Of an act and possibility, as Angels. 6. Of a person and nature, as Christ compounded of the Divine Person and Humane nature, which yet is not properly composition of parts, but of number. 7. Of being and individuation, that is, that by which we have such a particular being, as Humanity and Peter.
Q. What is Eternity?
