Whether the aforesaid virtues are parts of temperance?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the aforesaid virtues are not parts of temperance. For clemency mitigates punishment, as stated above (Article [2]). But the Philosopher (Ethic. v, 10) ascribes this to equity, which pertains to justice, as stated above (Question [120], Article [2]). Therefore seemingly clemency is not a part of temperance.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, temperance is concerned with concupiscences; whereas meekness and clemency regard, not concupiscences, but anger and vengeance. Therefore they should not be reckoned parts of temperance.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, Seneca says (De Clementia ii, 4): "A man may be said to be of unsound mind when he takes pleasure in cruelty." Now this is opposed to clemency and meekness. Since then an unsound mind is opposed to prudence, it seems that clemency and meekness are parts of prudence rather than of temperance.
