| VI | That Aristotle confesses that the lesser Gods were made by the Supreme God: that he interprets "God" as that which Empedocles A Pre-Socratic philosopher who proposed the four elements and the forces of Love and Strife. called "Unity": that he confesses a divine Providence, which sometimes works in ways that exceed nature. That his work is truly a compendium of this. That he now speaks more correctly concerning the One singular being, whereas elsewhere he spoke of many. |
| VII | Concerning the one singular and supreme God, from the same Aristotle, whom he has freed from the motion of the heavens; whose wisdom is immense, by which he also regards human affairs. |
| VIII | That Aristotle extols with wonderful praise those who attributed the creation of things to Mind original: "Menti"; likely referring to the 'Nous' or divine intellect.; in which is included a confession of a created world. That he said concerning the Mind those things which his teacher Plato said before him. In these things is the confession of one God. |
| IX | That even in his Ethics original: "Moralibus" he confessed one singular God, the overseer of human affairs: And that his providence, and those things which Aristotle says he bestows upon the good, are referred to another life than the present one. |
| X | From what Aristotle wrote concerning the Nectar of the Gods, it is proved both that there is the Divinity of one supreme being, who is the cause of happiness for himself and for all: and that those "Gods" are not the rotating celestial spheres. That the virtues possessed by mortals are possessed in a much greater degree by God. |
| XI | The admirable Theology of Aristotle concerning divine bliss: what contemplation is: That the happiness of the lesser Gods is the same, as they contemplate the supreme God. From which the supreme majesty of the One is proven. |
| XII | Concerning the bliss of the Gods: concerning the unique and simple pleasure which Aristotle attributes to God. His agreement with Holy Scripture, that bliss is divine contemplation. |
| XIII | That Aristotle affirms with Homer that the supreme God is the Father of Gods and men: that he is of the same kind with them. From this, the creation of the Gods and that only the First is eternal is demonstrated. |
| XIIII | That God is declared by Aristotle to be, as it were, the King of the human race, greater than every kind of wisdom, whom all ought to obey willingly. |
| XV | That the Mind, which Aristotle writes comes from without, can only come from the one singular God. Whom Theophrastus Aristotle's successor in the Peripatetic school. his disciple confessed to be the origin of all things. |
| XVI | That God is called "Law" by Aristotle: that the empire of law is the empire of God. From these things it follows that he tacitly confesses the divine law of today is that which must be most obeyed: in these things is the confession of the singular God. |
| XVII | That Aristotle, by saying that Monarchy is the most divine kind of Republic, seemed to confess one singular God, who singularly governs the whole world. |
| XVIII | That Aristotle praises piety and confesses it to be useful. From these things it is deduced that he praised that piety which truly worships God, and believes and confesses him to be the creator of the world. |
| XIX | Concerning the bliss of the singular God, which Aristotle saw and truly defined. That he confessed all worldly Orders were made by God, saying that nature is contained by him: and that he is the Word of God, according to Philo Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who harmonized the Torah with Greek philosophy.. |
| XX | That Aristotle confesses God created male and female for the permanence of the human race, agreeing wonderfully with Moses. |
| XXI | That Aristotle prefers piety to all things in the republic. Which is the most just reason why piety is more powerful. Upon this, Aristotle followed the opinion of his teacher Plato. |
