We now consider the persons singly; and first, the Person of the Father, concerning Whom there are four points of inquiry:

A[1] Whether the Father is the Principle?

A[3] Whether "Father" in God is said personally before it is said essentially?

A[4] Whether it belongs to the Father alone to be unbegotten?
