[¶0] OF WHAT BELONGS TO THE UNITY OR PLURALITY IN GOD (FOUR ARTICLES)

[¶1] We now consider what belongs to the unity or plurality in God; which gives rise to four points of inquiry:

[¶2] (1) Concerning the word "Trinity";

[¶3] (2) Whether we can say that the Son is other than the Father?

[¶4] (3) Whether an exclusive term, which seems to exclude otherness, can be joined to an essential name in God?

[¶5] (4) Whether it can be joined to a personal term?
