1. God
11.1 Questions about the First Subject,
or God
66. Question: does God exist? And the
answer is yes, as proved in the questions
about the first figure.
67. Question: who is God? And the
answer is that God is the being who acts
within Himself as much as He exists
within Himself.
68. With the second species of rule C we
ask: what does God have within Himself
coessentially? We answer that He has his
correlatives, without which He cannot have
immense and eternal reasons.
69. With the third species we ask: what is
God in other things? The answer is that
He is the creator, governor and so forth.
70. With the fourth species of rule C we
ask: what does God have in other things?
The answer is that He has power and
dominion in the world, and that He has the
power to judge men, in whom He has acts
of grace, mercy, humility, patience and
compassion. And this is enough about
God, for brevity's sake.
