Dupliciter potest intensio et remissio in habitibus et dispositionibus considerari quia habitus et dispositiones dicantur secundum ordinem ad aliquid (ut dicitur in VII Physic.).
In two ways intensity and remission may be observed in habits and dispositions because we speak of habits and dispositions in respect of a relation to something (Phys. vii, text. 17).
Uno modo, secundum se, prout dicitur maior vel minor sanitas; vel maior vel minor scientia, quae ad plura vel pauciora se extendit.
First, in respect of the habit itself: thus, for instance, we speak of greater or less health; greater or less science, which extends to more or fewer things.
Alio modo, secundum participationem subiecti, prout scilicet aequalis scientia vel sanitas magis recipitur in uno quam in alio, secundum diversam aptitudinem vel ex natura vel ex consuetudine. Non enim habitus et dispositio dat speciem subiecto, neque iterum in sui ratione includit indivisibilitatem.
Secondly, in respect of participation by the subject: insofar as equal science or health is participated more in one than in another, according to a diverse aptitude arising either from nature, or from custom. For habit and disposition do not give species to the subject: nor again do they, in their formal aspect, imply indivisibility.
