A2 Whether it can be together with faith in the same person?

A3 Whether the understanding which is a gift of the Holy Ghost, is only speculative, or practical also?

A4 Whether all who are in a state of grace have the gift of understanding?

A5 Whether this gift is to be found in those who are without grace?

A7 Which of the beatitudes corresponds to this gift?

A8 Which of the fruits?
