IV–IX. Distinctions of divine names (OT/NT; essence/properties; proper/common; absolute/relative; affirmative/negative)
IV. But of the divine names a distinction is to be noted, a review of the chief ones, and the use of all. V. Their distinction is multiplex. First, some divine names are in the Old Testament, some in the New. Those are for the most part Jah, Eheje, El, Elohim, Schaddai, Adonai, Heljon, etc.; these Theos, Kyrios, Father, Son, Abba, Spirit, Sabaoth.
VI. Second, some note God's essence, others properties of the essence. Those are Jah, Eheje and the like: but these El, Elohim, Schaddai, etc. VII. Third, some properly belong to God alone, as Jehovah: some are common to God and creatures, but by a diverse ratio, as Elohim. Those discern God from all created things insofar as they note God's altogether incommunicable perfections: but these declare Him the author of every good nature, since they are predicated of God and creatures analogically.
VIII. Fourth, some of them are absolute, as God omnipotent: some respective, and that either toward the divine persons, as Father, Son, Holy Spirit, or toward created things, as creator, savior, King of kings, Lord of lords. IX. Fifth, some are affirmative, as omnipotent, some negative, as infinite.

IV. Est autem nominum divinorum notanda distinctio, praecipuorum recensio, omnium usus. V. Distinctio eorum est multiplex. Primo, quaedam divina nomina sunt in veteri testamento, quaedam in novo. Illa fere sunt Jah, Eheje, El, Elohim, Schaddai, Adonai, Heljon &c. haec Θεός, Κύριος, Πατήρ, Υἱός, Abba, Πνεῦμα, Σαβαώθ. VI. Secundo, alia notant essentiam Dei, alia essentiae proprietates. Illa sunt Jah, Eheje & similia: haec vero El, Elohim, Schaddai &c. VII. Tertio, quaedam soli Deo proprie conveniunt, ut Jehovah: quaedam communia sunt Deo & creaturis, sed diversa ratione, ut Elohim. Illa discernunt Deum ab omnibus rebus creatis, quatenus perfectiones Dei prorsus incommunicabiles notant: haec vero declarant, eum omnis boni naturae auctorem, quippe quae de Deo & creaturis analogice praedicantur. VIII. Quarto, quaedam ex illis sunt absoluta, ut Deus omnipotens: quaedam respectiva, eaque vel ad personas divinas, ut Pater, Filius, Spiritus sanctus, vel ad res creatas, ut creator, servator, Rex regum, Dominus dominantium. IX. Quinto, quaedam sunt affirmativa, ut omnipotens, quaedam negativa, ut infinitus.
