[659] For a fuller explanation of this distinction, which is called a
virtual minor distinction, see The One God, pp. 168f.; also

[670] The Deity is not communicated internally inasmuch as it is
terminated by paternity. Thus in the figure that represents the Holy
Trinity, in the equilateral triangle, the first angle that is formed
communicates indeed to the second and third angles its superficies, but
not itself, nor its superficies so far as this latter is terminated by
itself. Thus it is that this same superficies is terminated by the
three angles that are really distinct from one another and are not
really distinct from their common superficies

[679] This analogy enables us to see more clearly that adoptive sonship
is a certain participated likeness of eternal natural sonship. See a.
5, ad 2, of this question. St. Paul expresses the same analogy
in the following text: "God predestinated us to be made conformable
to the image of His Son. that He might be the first-born among many
brethren" (Rom. 8:29).
