OF GOD.
THE principal questions are, 1 Whether there be a God. 2 What he is, or what manner of God he is whom we worship, and in what he differeth from Idols. 3 Whence it may appear that there is but one God. 4 What the names of Essence, Person, and Trinity, signify. 5 In what the Essence differeth from the person. 6 Whether these names are to be used in the Church, and whether they are had in the Scripture. 7 Howe many persons there be of the godhead. 8 Howe these differ one from another. 9 For what cause this doctrine is to be held in the Church.
