Chapter
1.—God is Above the Mind.
1.
Desiring to exercise the reader in the things that are made,
in order that he may know Him by whom they are made, we have now
advanced so far as to His image, which is man, in that wherein he
excels the other animals, i.e. in reason or intelligence,
and whatever else can be said of the rational or intellectual soul
that pertains to what is called the mind.936
For by this name some Latin
writers, after their own peculiar mode of speech, distinguish that
which excels in man, and is not in the beast, from the soul,937
which is in
the beast as well. If, then, we seek anything that is above this
nature, and seek truly, it is God,—namely, a nature not created,
but creating. And whether this is the Trinity, it is now our
business to demonstrate not only to believers, by authority of
divine Scripture, but also to such as understand, by some kind of
reason, if we can. And why I say, if we can, the thing itself will
show better when we have begun to argue about it in our
inquiry.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
