1600’s

Johann H. Alting

The Scriptural Theology of Heidelberg, vol. 1  (d. 1644; Amsterdam: Jansson, 1646), Locus 5, ‘On Creation’, trans. AI at Confessionally Reformed Theology

“That the Father is sometimes peculiarly called creator and Lord of heaven and earth, Acts 4:24; Mt. 11:25, is all from the order and mode of operation in creation.  For He created not from another but from Himself, inasmuch as He is the fountain of the Deity and of divine operations.  The Son, however, and the Holy Spirit created not from themselves but from the Father, and the Father through them, 1 Cor. 8:6; Rom. 11:36.”
