what an entity is in another. Just as when it is asked: What is the intellect in another? It must be answered that it is a good intellect in goodness, a great intellect in magnitude, and so forth; in grammar, a grammarian; in logic, a logician; in rhetoric, a rhetorician. The fourth species is when it is asked what an entity has in another, such as when one says: What does the intellect have in another? It must be answered that it has understanding in science and belief in faith. The rule of "From what" has three species. The first is primitive, such as when it is said: From what is the intellect? It must be answered: From itself, because it is not naturally derived from any general thing. The second species is when it is asked specifically from what an entity is, such as when it is asked from what the intellect is. It must be answered that it is from its specific form and matter, with which it has specific understanding. The third species is when it is asked to whom an entity belongs, such as when it is asked to whom the intellect belongs. It must be answered that it belongs to man, just as a part belongs to its whole and a horse to its master. The fourth rule, namely "Why," has two species: formal and final. Formal is when it is asked why an entity is, such as when it is asked why the intellect is. It must be answered that it is because of its specific matter and form, with which it has specific understanding and with them acts through its own species. The second species is in respect to the end, such as when it is asked why the intellect is. It must be answered: So that it may become an intelligible object and so that it may be of the thing.
