COMMENTARIUS IN DISTINCTIONEM XII.
De aeterna processione Spiritus sancti, qualiter a Patre et Filio procedat.
Item quaeritur, cum Spiritus sanctus procedat a Patre et Filio.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Haec est secunda pars, in qua Magister determinat, qualiter Spiritus sanctus procedit1 a Patre et Filio; et haec pars habet quatuor capitula secundum quatuor, quae determinat in quatuor capitulis2.
Nam primo quaerit et determinat, utrum Spiritus sanctus prius procedat a Patre, et determinat, quod non.
Secundo, utrum principalius et plenius, ibi: Nunc tractandum est quod secundo quaerebatur.
Tertio vero determinat, utrum proprie a Patre procedat, et dicit quod sic, ibi: Ex eodem sensu dicitur etiam proprie procedere de Patre.
Quarto determinat, utrum Spiritus sanctus proprie procedat a Patre per Filium, ibi: Forte etiam iuxta hanc intelligentiam, ubi confirmat auctoritate Hilarii, quod Spiritus sanctus mittitur a Patre per Filium et procedit.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Supposito ex praecedentibus, quod Spiritus sanctus procedat a Patre et Filio, ad intelligentiam huius partis quatuor quaeruntur de processione Spiritus sancti in comparatione ad utrumque.
Primo quaeritur, utrum Spiritus sanctus prius procedat a Patre quam a Filio.
Secundo, utrum plenius a Patre quam a Filio.
Tertio, utrum procedat a Patre mediante Filio.
Quarto et ultimo, utrum processio Filii prior sit secundum ordinem intelligendi processione Spiritus sancti, vel e converso.

COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XII.
On the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit — in what manner He proceeds from the Father and the Son.
Likewise it is asked, since the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
This is the second part, in which the Master determines in what manner the Holy Spirit proceeds1 from the Father and the Son; and this part has four chapters according to the four [points] which he determines in four chapters2.
For first, he asks and determines whether the Holy Spirit proceeds prior from the Father, and he determines that He does not.
Secondly, [he asks] whether [He proceeds] more principally and more fully [from the Father], at: Now must be treated what was asked second.
Thirdly he determines whether [the Spirit] proceeds properly from the Father, and he says yes, at: In the same sense He is also said properly to proceed from the Father.
Fourthly, he determines whether the Holy Spirit properly proceeds from the Father through the Son, at: Perhaps also according to this same understanding, where he confirms by the authority of Hilary that the Holy Spirit is sent and proceeds from the Father through the Son.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
Supposing from what precedes, that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, for the understanding of this part four [questions] are asked concerning the procession of the Holy Spirit in comparison to both.
Firstly it is asked, whether the Holy Spirit proceeds prior from the Father than from the Son.
Secondly, whether [He proceeds] more fully from the Father than from the Son.
Thirdly, whether He proceeds from the Father with the Son as medium.
Fourthly and last, whether the procession of the Son is prior in the order of understanding to the procession of the Holy Spirit, or conversely.
