_I answer that, _ As stated above (Q. 90, A. 1, ad 2), a law is adictate of the practical reason. Now it is to be observed that thesame procedure takes place in the practical and in the speculativereason: for each proceeds from principles to conclusions, as statedabove (ibid. ). Accordingly we conclude that just as, in thespeculative reason, from naturally known indemonstrable principles, we draw the conclusions of the various sciences, the knowledge ofwhich is not imparted to us by nature, but... acquired by the efforts ofreason, so too it is from the precepts of the natural law, as fromgeneral and indemonstrable principles, that the human reason needs toproceed to the more particular determination of certain matters. These particular determinations, devised by human reason, are calledhuman laws, provided the other essential conditions of law beobserved, as stated above (Q. 90, AA. 2, 3, 4). Wherefore Tully saysin his _Rhetoric_ (De Invent. Rhet. Ii) that "justice has its sourcein nature; thence certain things came into custom by reason of theirutility; afterwards these things which emanated from nature and wereapproved by custom, were sanctioned by fear and reverence for thelaw.
