Context
“Whether God Can Do Anything Outside the Established Order of Nature?
Objection 1: It would seem that God cannot do anything outside the established order of nature. For Augustine (Contra Faust. xxvi, 3) says: "God the Maker and Creator of each nature, does nothing against nature." But that which is outside the natural order seems to be against nature. Therefore God can do nothing outside the natural order.
Obj. 2: Further, as the order of justice is from God, so is the order of nature.”
