7259.由于仁之教义如此广泛,在古人当中,仁之教义是教会的教义,所以古人将对邻之仁区分为众多类别。他们还对这些类别进行细分,给每个类别都取了一个名字,并教导当如何向这一类别或那一类别的人实施仁爱。他们以这种方式将仁之教义,以及实施仁爱的方式纳入秩序,以便清楚理解这些问题。

7259. As the doctrine of charity was so ample, the ancients, with whom the doctrine of charity was the very doctrine of the church, distinguished charity toward the neighbor into many classes, which they also subdivided, and gave a name to each class, and taught how charity was to be exercised toward those who are in one class, and how toward those in another; and in this way they reduced the doctrine of charity into order, and also the exercises of charity, that these might fall distinctly under the view of the understanding.

7259. Since their teachings about charity were so extensive the ancients, among whom teachings about charity were the teachings of the Church, distinguished charity towards the neighbour into a large number of separate classes. They also subdivided these, giving a name to each individual class, and teaching the ways in which charity should be exercised towards those belonging to one class or towards those belonging to another. By doing this they brought order to their teachings about charity and the ways in which it should be exercised, so that these matters would be clearly understood.
Latin(1748-1756) 7259
7259. Quia tam ampla fuit doctrina charitatis, antiqui, apud quos doctrina charitatis {2}fuit ipsa doctrina Ecclesiae, distinguebant charitatem erga proximum in plures classes quas etiam subdividebant, et singulis classibus indebant nomina, et docebant quomodo charitas exercenda esset erga illos qui in una classe et quomodo erga illos qui in altera; et sic redigebant doctrinam charitatis in ordinem, et exercitia charitatis ut (t)distincte caderent sub intellectum.
