Three School distinctions opened: honor per se vs per accidens (king, purple, accidents)
Schoolmen preface the quarrel with distinctions: honor per se vs per accidents.
Per se: the subject that carries the reason of veneration; per accidents: what is merely joined to it.
King example: the man who is king is honored per se; purple and other adjuncts only per accidents—royal dignity is the reason, not an accidental add-on.
Latin
XXXVI. Ut autem dissensus iste melius percipiatur, ante omnia notandae atque explicandae sunt quaedam distinctiones, quibus uti solent in hac quaestione, ut mentem suam clarius exponant. Primum igitur observant, aliquid honorari vel per se, vel per accidens. Per se, honoratur, inquiunt, suppositum in quo inest ratio venerationis: per accidens, id quod est conjunctum rei quae adoratur, nec est ipsa ratio adorationis. Ut cum honoratur Rex, per se honoratur homo ille, qui est Rex; per accidens honoratur purpura, & reliqua adjuncta, & accidentia omnia ejus, excepta regia dignitate: quae licet non sit id quod honoratur, est tamen id quo homo ille honoratur. Itaque persona honoratur per se, ut quae; regia dignitas honoratur per se, ut qua; reliqua honorantur per accidens.
