De acquirenda, retinenda, et amittenda possessione enunciationes C

LXXXV.
A peculiar case is excepted. For it is accepted in a peculiar case that something may be sought for us while we are ignorant.

LXXXVI.
Possession is retained by mind alone.

LXXXVII.
Since nothing is as natural as that a thing should be dissolved in the same way it was bound together, therefore just as we acquire possession by mind and body, so also, if both are acted upon in the opposite way, it departs from us.

LXXXVIII.
Truly, this is not perpetual. For we can also lose possession by mind alone, even if we are touching the possessed thing with our body.

LXXXIX.
We lose it, however, either willingly or against our will.

XC.
Willingly, if we cast aside the mind of holding for ourselves spontaneously and of our own free will.

XCI.
That we lose it against our will happens, first, by the inhabilitation of either the thing or the person. By inhabilitation of the thing, such as if it becomes sacred or religious from a profane thing, etc.

XCII.
Of the person, such as if someone cannot hold the thing with the mind of keeping it for himself.

XCIII.
This happens in two ways, either when we clearly lose the mind and will, such as a dead person or a madman: who, however, for the sake of utility, though not by strict law, retains possession.
