The Habituation of Form and Reason

In the things of which we first spoke, there is an actualization, an habituation, and an actualizing reason. Habituations are reasons that participate in forms. It might be objected that if one object were ugly and another uglier still, they are such because they participate in a form. Not so, for if these two objects be equally ugly, they are equal in the absence of the form. If on the contrary, we assign the first rank in existence to incorporeal things, end to the reasons. We should say that what is double has the double for its cause, and what is half has the half as its cause.
