QUAESTIO LVI. Utrum habuerit B. Virgo perseverantiam?

Post hoc quaeritur de perseverantia, quae dupliciter dicitur: uno modo propositum perseverandi usque in finem: alio modo actus perseverandi.

Voluntas beatissimae Virginis ad perseverandum fuit inflexibilis: voluntas omnium aliorum flexibilis: ergo ejus perseverantia aliorum perseverantiae est improportionabilis 1.

QUESTION LVI. Whether the blessed Virgin had perseverance?

After this it is asked concerning perseverance, which is spoken of in two ways: in one way, as the purpose of persevering until the end; in another way, as the act of persevering.

The will of the most blessed Virgin was inflexible for persevering; the will of all others was flexible. Therefore her perseverance is disproportionate to the perseverance of others 1.
