As some [philosophers] say: "This [permanent thing] does not require auxiliaries, and yet when separated from auxiliaries it cannot produce the effect, because its inherent nature is established such that it becomes productive only when all auxiliary causes are present, like the final cause, [but] not alone. Therefore, even though it exists, there is no possibility of the effect being produced at all times."
