DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de distinctione peccatorum in generali; in hac parte descendit ad quoddam speciale genus peccati. Dividitur autem pars ista in partes duas. In quarum prima Magister determinat de peccato isto, comparando illud ad alia peccatorum genera. In secunda vero determinat de ipso, quid sit secundum assignationem propriam1, ibi: Sed quaeritur, quid sit illud peccatum.
Prima pars remanet indivisa; sed secunda dividitur in partes tres secundum triplicem assignationem peccati in Spiritum sanctum, in quarum prima Magister ponit assignationem unam per eius differentias magis notas, quae quidem sunt obstinatio et desperatio. In secunda vero ponit eius assignationem per eius differentias minus manifestas, ibi: Est et alia huius peccati assignatio. In tertia vero subiungit istius2 peccati assignationem communem et definitivam, ibi: De hoc quoque peccato in Spiritum sanctum definitivam assignationem etc. Prima istarum partium dividitur in partes duas, in quarum prima determinat veritatem; in secunda dissolvit dubitationem, ibi: Sed quaeritur, utrum omnis obstinatio. Similiter secunda dividitur in duas, in quarum prima ponit Magister huius peccati assignationem; in secunda ponit eius assignationis explanationem3, ibi: Illam tamen assignationem Augustinus etc. Similiter tertia pars habet duas, in quarum prima ponit peccati in Spiritum sanctum secundum Ambrosium definitivam assignationem. In secunda vero removet dubitationem, ibi: Non itaque distinctio illa verborum sic accipienda est.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam huius partis incidit hic quaestio de peccato in Spiritum sanctum, de quo secundum ipsius triplicem comparationem quaeruntur tria.
Primo quaeritur de ipso in comparatione ad alia peccatorum genera.
Secundo quaeritur de ipso quantum ad conditiones proprias.
Tertio vero quaeritur de ipso quantum ad eius species et differentias.
Circa primum quaeruntur duo.
Primo quaeritur, utrum peccatum in Spiritum sanctum dicat genus peccati distinctum.
Secundo quaeritur, utrum peccatum in Spiritum sanctum semper habeat aliud peccatum actuale praeambulum.

## COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XLIII. ### On the sin against the Holy Spirit.
There is, moreover, a certain kind of sin, etc.4<sup>,</sup>5<sup>,</sup>6
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above, the Master treated of the distinction of sins in general; in this part he descends to a certain special kind of sin. Now this part is divided into two parts. In the first of these the Master determines concerning this sin, comparing it to the other kinds of sins. In the second, however, he determines concerning it, namely what it is according to its proper assignation1, there: But it is asked what that sin is.
The first part remains undivided; but the second is divided into three parts according to the threefold assignation of the sin against the Holy Spirit. In the first of these the Master sets down one assignation by its better-known differences, which indeed are obstinacy and despair. In the second, however, he sets down its assignation by its less manifest differences, there: There is also another assignation of this sin. In the third, however, he subjoins this2 sin's common and definitive assignation, there: Concerning this sin against the Holy Spirit also, the definitive assignation, etc. The first of these parts is divided into two parts, in the first of which he determines the truth; in the second he resolves a doubt, there: But it is asked whether every obstinacy. Likewise the second is divided into two, in the first of which the Master sets down the assignation of this sin; in the second he sets down the explanation3 of that assignation, there: Yet that assignation Augustine, etc. Likewise the third part has two, in the first of which he sets down the definitive assignation of the sin against the Holy Spirit according to Ambrose. In the second, however, he removes a doubt, there: Not in this way, therefore, is that distinction of words to be understood.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of this part there arises here a question concerning the sin against the Holy Spirit, concerning which, according to its threefold comparison, three things are asked.
First it is asked concerning it in comparison to the other kinds of sins.
Second it is asked concerning it as regards its proper conditions.
Third, however, it is asked concerning it as regards its species and differences.
Concerning the first, two things are asked.
First it is asked whether the sin against the Holy Spirit names a distinct kind of sin.
Second it is asked whether the sin against the Holy Spirit always has another actual sin as its antecedent.
