We must now consider such things as were co-assumed by the Son of God in human nature; and first what belongs to perfection; secondly, what belongs to defect.

Concerning the first, there are three points of consideration: (1) The grace of Christ; (2) His knowledge; (3) His power.

With regard to His grace we must consider two things: (1) His grace as He is an individual man; (2) His grace as He is the Head of the Church. Of the grace of union we have already spoken ([3921] Q [2]).

Under the first head there are thirteen points of inquiry:

A1 Whether in the soul of Christ there was any habitual grace?

A2 Whether in Christ there were virtues?

A3 Whether He had faith?

A4 Whether He had hope?

A5 Whether in Christ there were the gifts?

A6 Whether in Christ there was the gift of fear?

A7 Whether in Christ there were any gratuitous graces?

A8 Whether in Christ there was prophecy?

A9 Whether there was the fulness of grace in Him?

A10 Whether such fulness was proper to Christ?

A11 Whether the grace of Christ was infinite?

A12 Whether it could have been increased?

A13 How this grace stood towards the union?
