III-IV: metonymic and ironic attributes
III. Metonymic attributes are those which are said of God by metonymy. Thus God is called firmness — Psalm 18:2; strength — Psalm 22:19; our salvation and help — Psalm 27:1,9 — because He is the author and giver of our firmness, strength, salvation, and help. Thus He is called our song — Exodus 15:2 — because He is the subject of which we sing. And in the same sense our glory — Psalm 3:3; trust — Psalm 65; Jeremiah 17:17; our hope — 1 Timothy 1:1; Jeremiah 14:8.
IV. Ironic attributes are those which are enunciated of God by irony. To this are referred Genesis 3:22; 1 Kings 22:15; Job 38:3 and 40:2; Psalms; Jeremiah 4:10; 1 Corinthians 1:21,25.

XXVII.1,9 — quia est firmitatis, fortitudinis, salutis, auxiliique nostri auctor et dator. Sic dicitur carmen nostrum — Exod. XV.2 — quia est subjectum de quo canimus. Eodemque sensu gloria nostra — Psal. III.4; fiducia — Psal. LXV; Jerem. XVII.17; spes nostra — I Tim. I.1; Jer. XIV.8. IV. Ironica attributa sunt, quae per ironiam de Deo enunciantur.
