Neither confounding the Persons: nor dividing But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, is all one: the Glory equal, the Majesty co-eternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son and such is the Holy Ghost. and And yet they are not three Gods: but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord, the Son Lord : and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords: but one Lord.

And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal. As also there are not three incomprehensibles, nor three uncreated: but one uncreated, and one incomprehensible. : So likewise the Father is Almighty, the Son Almighty and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Almighties but one Almighty. So the Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Ghost is God. none The Son is of the Father alone: not made, nor created, but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son neither made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding. So there is one Father, not three Fathers; one Son, not three Sons: one Holy Ghost, not three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore, or after other : none is greater, or less than another; But the whole three Persons are co-eternal together and co-equal. |
