(3s) And therefore Aquinas and all, 1.2. q. 18. art. 2. and others commonly agree, that the Obje 1 and the End do fpecifie humaneads. But remote ends may be the fame in Ads, ( ánd"fo in Offices ) of the fame fpecies ; It proving but a Generical agreement ( which yet maybe infpecie fub- alterna. ) All humane As fhould have the fame ultimate end, that is, The pleatingof God in the refplendency ofhis Glory, and the felicityof man. Yet this makeththem not all ofthe fame inflow fpeciei. All Government intendeth the common good ; and yet there are different fpecies of Government. All Church Government is for the good of the Church, and for the killingof fin, andthe promoting of faithand-holinefs And yet there are different fpecies of Church Governours. But befides the Objeef and End, (which all agree to) thereare by Schoolmen Aqu. and Cafuifis, faid to becircumftances, which may alfofpecifie Moral ads. The q, i s. art.
