Third Distinction
Questions

This distinction deals with peregrine questions and their solutions are referred to the first distinction where they are implicit and to the second distinction where they are more explicitly signified. Now the questions are divided into nine parts, namely into nine beings which are the following: God, Angel, Heaven, Soul, Imagination, Sense, Vegetation, Elements, Artifice. There are actually no more than these nine because whatever exists or can exist must be included in its way within the nine above terms.

We have five loci to refer to for solving questions, namely: the Tree, the first and second parts of the first distinction and the first and second parts of the second distinction. Now let us deal with the first part of the third distinction.
