Firstly, indeed, because man is directed to God, as to an end that surpasses the grasp of his reason: "The eye hath not seen, O God, besides Thee, what things Thou hast prepared for them that wait for Thee" (<scripRef osisRef="Bible.vul:Isa.66.4" parsed="vul|Isa|66|4|0|0" id="FP.i.FP_Q1.FP_Q1_A1-p5.1" passage="Is. 66:4">Is. 66:4</scripRef>). But the end must first be known by men who are to direct their thoughts and + actions to the end. Hence it was necessary for the salvation of man that certain truths which exceed human reason should be made known to him by divine revelation. Even as regards those truths about God which human reason could have discovered, it was necessary that man should be taught by a divine revelation; because the truth about God such as reason could discover, would only be known by a few, and that after a long time, and with the admixture of many errors. Whereas man's whole salvation, + which is in God, depends upon the knowledge of this +truth. Therefore, in order that the salvation of men might be brought +about more fitly and more surely, it was necessary that they should be +taught divine truths by divine revelation. It was therefore necessary +that besides philosophical science built up by reason, there should be +a sacred science learned through revelation.</p> +<p xml:lang="la" title="I q. 1 a. 1 co."><a name="28236"><span class= +"ref">[28236] Iª q. 1 a. 1 co.</span></a> Respondeo dicendum +quod necessarium fuit ad humanam salutem, esse doctrinam quandam +secundum revelationem divinam, praeter philosophicas disciplinas, +quae ratione humana investigantur.

So, whereas in every other science things are signified by words, this science has the property, that the things signified by the words have themselves also a signification. Therefore that first signification whereby words signify things belongs to the first sense, the historical or literal. That signification + whereby things signified by words have themselves also a signification is called the spiritual sense, which is based on the literal, and presupposes it. Now this spiritual sense has a threefold division. For as the Apostle says (<scripRef osisRef="Bible.vul:Heb.10.1" parsed="vul|Heb|10|1|0|0" id="FP.i.FP_Q1.FP_Q1_A10-p6.1" passage="Heb. 10:1">Heb. 10:1</scripRef>) the Old Law is a figure of the New Law, and Dionysius says (Coel. Hier. i) "the New Law itself is a figure of future glory." Again, in the New Law, whatever our Head has done is a type of what we ought to do. Therefore, so far as the + things of the Old Law signify the things of the New Law, there is the allegorical sense; so far as the things done in Christ, or so far as the things which signify Christ, are types of what we ought to do, there is the moral sense. But so far as they signify what relates to eternal glory, there is the anagogical sense. Since the literal sense is that which the author intends, and since the author of Holy Writ is God, Who by one act comprehends all things by His intellect, it is not unfitting, + as Augustine says (Confess. xii), if, even according to the literal +sense, one word in Holy Writ should have several senses.</p> +<p xml:lang="la" title="I q. 1 a. 10 co."><a name="28294"><span class= +"ref">[28294] Iª q. 1 a. 10 co.</span></a> Respondeo dicendum +quod auctor sacrae Scripturae est Deus, in cuius potestate est ut +non solum voces ad significandum accommodet (quod etiam homo facere +potest), sed etiam res ipsas.
