Question 33 — The Person of the Father

We now consider the persons singly; and first, the Person of the Father, concerning Whom there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the Father is the Principle?

• (2) Whether the person of the Father is properly signified by this name Father?
• (3) Whether Father in God is said personally before it is said essentially?
• (4) Whether it belongs to the Father alone to be unbegotten?
