Question 66 — The Order of Creation towards Distinction

We must next consider the work of distinction; first, the ordering of creation towards distinction; second, the distinction itself.

Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether formlessness of created matter preceded in time its formation?

• (2) Whether the matter of all corporeal things is the same?
• (3) Whether the empyrean heaven was created contemporaneously with formless matter?
• (4) Whether time was created simultaneously with it?
