41 1, 3 | He is. Therefore God's existence is not ~the same as His

55 1, 3 | essence does not differ from existence. Therefore His essence is

60 1, 3 | Therefore God is His own existence, ~and not merely His own
61 1, 3 | cannot understand God's existence nor His essence; but only

66 1, 3 | exists of ~itself - for existence cannot of itself be a genus,
67 1, 3 | existing of itself; this existence, ~however, is not its essence.
68 1, 3 | because God is His own existence; and as Boethius ~says (
69 1, 3 | nor His essence from His existence; neither is there in Him ~
70 1, 3 | composite; because at least its existence differs from its essence,
71 1, 4 | A[4]), God's essence is existence. ~But existence seems most

110 1, 9 | could produce them into existence. Thus, as the ~production
