Doubt IV: On the causes excusing from restitution on the part of the thing itself

One cause is judged, namely the destruction of the thing without the fault and delay of the debtor, because he had it in his keeping, and was bound to restore the same in specie. Then the thing perished for the Lord himself, as Medina notes, quaest. 3. causa 6. Navar. cap. 17. num. 80. Valentia quaest. 6. puncto 7. And as if after a thing that was not determined for payment, although destined by you for payment, you will be bound to return it. See Valentia.
