After considering prudence we must in due sequence consider justice, the consideration of which will be fourfold:

A1 Of justice;

A2 Of its parts;

A3 Of the corresponding gift;

A4 Of the precepts relating to justice.

Four points will have to be considered about justice: (1) Right; (2) Justice itself; (3) Injustice; (4) Judgment.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

A1 Whether right is the object of justice?

A2 Whether right is fittingly divided into natural and positive right?

A3 Whether the right of nations is the same as natural right?

A4 Whether right of dominion and paternal right are distinct species?
