Order of Matters to be Treated
The order of our treatise will be to deal first with the production and
bringing of things into being (Chapp VI-XXXVIII); secondly with the
distinction of things (Chapp. XXXIX-XLV); thirdly, with the nature of
things thus produced and distinct so far as it appertains to the truth
of faith (Chapp. XLVI-CI).
