Question 41 — Persons Compared to Notional Acts

We now consider the persons in reference to the notional acts, concerning which six points of inquiry arise:

(1) Whether the notional acts are to be attributed to the persons?

  • (2) Whether these acts are necessary, or voluntary?
  • (3) Whether as regards these acts, a person proceeds from nothing or from something?
  • (4) Whether in God there exists a power as regards the notional acts?
  • (5) What this power means?
  • (6) Whether several persons can be the term of one notional act?
