BOOK TWO. On the end of man, as a citizen of God's kingdom — the absolutely highest and last end, or eternal beatitude.
CHAPTER ONE. Whether there is some highest good of man, and that eternal, and what it is.
The common part of sacred theology pursues three things: the absolutely highest and last end of man, namely eternal beatitude; the subject, that is, man himself as a citizen of God; and the principles on which eternal salvation depends, together with the means by which he is directed to it.

SACRAE THEOLOGIAE LIBER SECUNDUS, De fine hominis, ut civis regni Dei, absolute summo & ultimo seu aeterna beatitudine. CAPUT PRIMUM, An detur summum aliquod hominis bonum, idque aeternum & quid sit? Sacrae Theologiae pars communis tria persequitur, finem hominis absolute summum & ultimum, nempe beatitudinem aeternam, subjectum, puta hominem ipsum Dei civem, & principia a quibus dependet salus aeterna, cum mediis, quibus ad eam dirigitur.
