Overview

Excerpt from Johannis Wyclif Tractatus De Potestate Pape: Now First Edited From the Manuscripts, With Critical and Historical Notes What is Power? According to Aristotle, it is the principle of movement, of production and destruction; it is either increate, an attribute of God alone, and as such infinite and eternal; or created in time and either spiritual or material. Spiritual power, given to the creature, is indeed permanent and in destructible, but may be limited in its action. Material power may be gained or lost: Another kind of power is the capacity of any creature to be influenced from without; and therefore there must be, not only active, but passive power.
