Concerning these subjects it has been stated above: that nothing except use can exist from God the Creator (n. 308); that the uses of all created things ascend by degrees from ultimate things to man, and through man to God the Creator, from Whom they are (n. 65-68); that the end of Creation exists in ultimates, which end is that all things may return to God the Creator, and that there may be conjunction (n. 167-172); that things are uses so far as they have regard to the Creator (n. 307); that the Divine cannot be other than Esse and Existere in others created by itself (n. 47-51); that all things of the universe are recipients according to uses, and this, according to degrees (n. 58); that the universe, viewed from uses, is an image of God (n. 59); besides many other things. From all of which this truth is plain that all things which have been created by the Lord are uses, and that they are uses in that order, degree and respect in which they have relation to man, and through man to the Lord from Whom they are. It remains now that some things should be stated in detail about uses.
