VII-XII: integrity of will; primary affections — love and hatred
VII. Integrity of will is that which in God is conceived after the manner of affections or of virtues or moral habits. VIII. What is conceived after the manner of affections can be referred to two genera: those we can call primary, and those which arise from the primary. IX. Primary affections are of union, as love; of separation, as hatred opposite to this; or of communication, as goodness with its progressions — benignity, grace, mercy.
Love is the affection of union by which God is borne toward Himself as the highest good, and toward things like Himself, toward order and the good of justice, toward the creature and its happiness. Gods love is active or passive; the active has a double object — God as highest good, and creatures as a lesser good. With respect to God the act is merely natural and necessary; with respect to creatures partly approval, partly favor or benevolence — John 3:16; Romans 5:8; 1 John 4:8-10.
XI. From what has been said of Gods love we gather three rules: 1. Gods love as benevolence toward creatures is wholly gratuitous and the fountain of all goods. 2. Gods love is wisely ordered in certain degrees according to the series of lovable things. 3. Of Gods special love by which He embraces us in Christ we can be made more certain from the very effects of divine love. XII. Hatred is the affection of separation by which God turns from the injustice and misery of creatures, and loves creatures less than Himself and others. Its primary object is sin; He also hates sinners inasmuch as they are alien from the study of piety — Psalm 5:5; 139:21-22; Zechariah 8:17.
Latin
VII. Integritas voluntatis est, quae in Deo concipitur per modum affectuum aut virtutum seu habituum moralium. VIII. Quae per modum affectuum concipitur, ea referri potest ad duo genera, quorum unum est eorum quos primos appellare possumus, alterum eorum qui a primis. IX. Primi affectus sunt unionis, ut amor; separationis, ut huic oppositum odium; aut communicationis, ut bonitas cum progressionibus suis, benignitate, gratia, misericordia. Amor est affectus unionis, quo Deus fertur in seipsum ut summe bonum, inque sui similia, ordinem bonumque justitiae, creaturam felicitatemque ejus. Amor Dei est activus aut passivus; activus duplex objectum habet, Deum ut bonum summum, et creaturas ut bonum inferius. Respectu Dei actus est mere naturalis ac necessarius; respectu creaturarum partim approbatio, partim favor seu benevolentia — Joh. III.16; Rom. V.8; I Joh. IV.8-10. XI. Ex dictis de amore Dei colligimus tres regulas: 1. Amor Dei quatenus est benevolentia erga creaturas prorsus est gratuitus et fons omnium bonorum. 2. Amor Dei certis gradibus juxta seriem rerum amabilium sapienter ordinatus est. 3. De speciali amore Dei quo nos in Christo complectitur, possumus certiores fieri ex ipsis divini amoris effectis. XII. Odium est affectus separationis, quo Deus injustitiam miseriamque creaturarum aversatur, creaturasque seipso et aliis minus amat. Primarium objectum est peccatum; odit et peccatores quatenus a pietatis studio alieni sunt — Psal. V.5; CXXXIX.21-22; Zach. VIII.17.
