Divine Wisdom XI - end, cause, and effect

Divine Wisdom XI [2]

In each and everything there are these three,
end, cause, and effect;
the end is that from which,
the cause is that by means of which,
and the effect is that in which . . ..
In every love and its affection there is an end,
and the end intends or wills to do what it loves,
and the thing done is its effect.
The Lord is the end from which,
a person is the cause by means of which,
and the use is the effect in which the end exists.

The Lord is the end from which,
because from His Divine love
He perpetually intends or wills to do uses,
that is, to do good to the human race.

Man is the cause by means of which,
because he is or can be in the love of uses;
and in that love he intends or wills to do uses;

and uses are the effects in which the end exists;
and uses are what are called goods.

. . . doing charity is doing uses,
or the goods that are uses,
thus that the love of uses is charity.
