IN this Question is contained the doctrine of the Church concerning one God,1 and the three persons of the Godhead. The principal questions therein are: 1. Whence it may appear that there is a God. 2. What he is, or what manner of God the God of the Church is whom we worship; and in what he differeth from idols. 3. Whether he be One only, and in what sense there are said to be many gods. 4. What the name of Essence, Person, and Trinity signify, and how they differ. 5. Whether these names are to be used in the Church, and whether they are had in the Scripture. 6. How many persons there be of the God-head. 7. How they differ, and are to be distinguished one from another. 8. For what cause it is necessary that the Doctrine of the Trinity be held in the Church.
