[¶0] OF THE GRACE OF CHRIST AS AN INDIVIDUAL MAN (THIRTEEN ARTICLES)

[¶1] We must now consider such things as were co-assumed by the Son of God in human nature; and first what belongs to perfection; secondly, what belongs to defect.

[¶2] Concerning the first, there are three points of consideration: (1) The grace of Christ; (2) His knowledge; (3) His power.

[¶3] With regard to His grace we must consider two things: (1) His grace as He is an individual man; (2) His grace as He is the Head of the Church. Of the grace of union we have already spoken (Q 2).

[¶4] Under the first head there are thirteen points of inquiry:

[¶5] (1) Whether in the soul of Christ there was any habitual grace?

[¶6] (2) Whether in Christ there were virtues?

[¶7] (3) Whether He had faith?

[¶8] (4) Whether He had hope?

[¶9] (5) Whether in Christ there were the gifts?

[¶10] (6) Whether in Christ there was the gift of fear?

[¶11] (7) Whether in Christ there were any gratuitous graces?

[¶12] (8) Whether in Christ there was prophecy?

[¶13] (9) Whether there was the fulness of grace in Him?

[¶14] (10) Whether such fulness was proper to Christ?

[¶15] (11) Whether the grace of Christ was infinite?

[¶16] (12) Whether it could have been increased?

[¶17] (13) How this grace stood towards the union?
