We must next consider the work of distinction; first, the ordering of creation towards distinction; secondly, the distinction itself.
Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:
A[1] Whether formlessness of created matter preceded in time its formation?
A[2] Whether the matter of all corporeal things is the same?
A[3] Whether the empyrean heaven was created contemporaneously with formless matter?
A[4] Whether time was created simultaneously with it?
