Whether constancy pertains to perseverance?

❌ Objection 1 : It seems that constancy does not pertain to perseverance. For constancy pertains to patience, as stated above (Question [137], Article [5]): and patience differs from perseverance. Therefore constancy does not pertain to perseverance.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, "virtue is about the difficult and the good." Now it does not seem difficult to be constant in little works, but only in great deeds, which pertain to magnificence. Therefore constancy pertains to magnificence rather than to perseverance.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, if constancy pertained to perseverance, it would seem nowise to differ from it, since both denote a kind of unchangeableness. Yet they differ: for Macrobius (In Somn. Scip. i) condivides constancy with firmness by which he indicates perseverance, as stated above (Question [128], Article [6]). Therefore constancy does not pertain to perseverance.
