VII–XVI: ordination — effectio, permissio, motio, cohibitio; ordinary and extraordinary; mediate and immediate
VII. ORDINATION is the other part of governance, by which God directs all things to the last end most wisely appointed by Himself. VIII. And it is (1) effecting or permission; (2) motion or restraint.
IX. DIVINE EFFECTING is the ordination by which God produces goods of every kind and evils of punishment: in the same sense providence is called efficient. X. DIVINE PERMISSION is the ordination by which God, knowing and willing, lets something come to be. This looks chiefly to evils of fault, which God so permits or does not impede that He directs them to the best end: and therefore providence is also called permitting. XI. DIVINE MOTION is the ordination by which God so moves all things with respect to principle, means, and end that He either effects and directs the motion, or only directs it. XII. DIVINE RESTRAINT is the ordination by which God impedes a creature's action.
XIII. SECOND, as to grades and modes, governance is (1) ordinary or extraordinary, that is, customary or unusual. XIV. ORDINARY GOVERNANCE is that by which God governs things in the order He instituted in the first creation. Hence things are said to happen according to nature, from God's common good pleasure (Hosea 2:21–22; Acts 14:17; 17:25–28). XV. EXTRAORDINARY is that by which God governs things otherwise than He instituted in the first creation. Hence something is said to happen above or beside nature, from a singular dispensation. And here miracle excels: an extraordinary and evident operation of God exceeding the force of all created nature. XVI. Governance is mediate or immediate. God is said to govern immediately what He rules without second causes; mediately, what He procures by their ministry. Yet sometimes both an immediate and a mediate action concur about the same work.
Latin
VII. ORDINATIO est altera pars gubernationis, qua Deus omnia ad finem ultimum a se sapientissime praestitutum dirigit. VIII. Estque 1. effectio aut permissio; 2. motio aut cohibitio. IX. EFFECTIO divina est ordinatio, qua Deus omnis generis bona et mala poenae producit: eodemque sensu providentia efficiens dicitur. X. PERMISSIO divina est ordinatio, qua Deus sciens volens aliquid fieri sinit. Haec in primis spectat ad mala culpae, quae Deus ita permittit sive non impedit, ut ad finem optimum dirigat: ideoque et providentia permittens appellatur. XI. MOTIO divina est ordinatio, qua Deus omnes res ratione principii, medii et finis ita movet, ut motum vel efficiat et dirigat, vel tantum dirigat. XII. COHIBITIO divina est ordinatio, qua Deus actionem creaturae impedit. XIII. SECUNDO, quantum ad gradus et modos, gubernatio est 1. ordinaria vel extraordinaria, seu usitata aut inusitata. XIV. GUBERNATIO ORDINARIA est, qua Deus gubernat res eo ordine quem in prima creatione instituit. Hinc dicuntur res fieri secundum naturam, ex communi Dei beneplacito — Hosea 2:21–22; Acts 14:17; 17:25–28. XV. EXTRAORDINARIA est, qua Deus gubernat res aliter quam in prima creatione instituit. Hinc dicitur aliquid fieri supra aut praeter naturam, ex singulari dispensatione. Et hic excellit miraculum, quod est operatio Dei extraordinaria eaque evidens, totius naturae creatae vim excedens. XVI. Gubernatio est mediata aut immediata. Deus ea immediate gubernare dicitur quae regit non adhibitis mediis sive causis secundis; mediate, quae usurpato earum ministerio procurat. Concurrit tamen aliquando etiam circa idem opus aliqua immediata et mediata actio.
