But observe that energy and capacity for energy, and the
product of energy, and the agent of energy, are all different.
Energy is the efficient (δραστική) and
essential activity of nature: the capacity for energy is the
nature from which proceeds energy: the product of energy is that
which is effected by energy: and the agent of energy is the
person or subsistence which uses the energy. Further, sometimes
energy is used in the sense of the product of energy, and the product
of energy in that of energy, just as the terms creation and creature
are sometimes transposed. For we say “all creation,”
meaning creatures.
