We must now consider the distinction of things in particular; and firstly the distinction of good and evil; and then the distinction of the spiritual and corporeal creatures.
Concerning the first, we inquire into evil and its cause.
Concerning evil, six points are to be considered:
A[1] Whether evil is a nature?
A[2] Whether evil is found in things?
A[3] Whether good is the subject of evil?
A[4] Whether evil totally corrupts good?
A[5] The division of evil into pain and fault.
A[6] Whether pain, or fault, has more the nature of evil?
