A answer that, as I have said before, law, since it is a rule or measure, can belong to things in two ways: in one way to those ruled and measured, since things are ruled or measured insofar as they partake of the rule or measure. But the eternal law rules and measures everything subject to God's providence, as is evident from what I have said before. And so everything evidently shares in some way in yr eternal law, namely insofar as all things have inclinations o their own acts and ends from its imprint on them. But the rational creature is subject to God's providence in a more excellent way than other things, since such a creature also shares in God's providence in providing for itself and others. And so it shares in the eternal plan whereby it has its natural inclination to it requisite activity and end. And we call such particiption in the eternal law by rational creature the natural law.
