Athenagoras, A. D. 170, Legat. pro Christian.

§ 10, p. 287, ed. Cologne. "Who would not be perplexed on hearing us called Atheists, confessing, as we do, GOD the FATHER, and GOD the SON, and GOD the HOLY GHOST, discovering their power in their unity, and their distinction in their order?" Again: "From Him, and by Him, were all things made, since the FATHER and the SON are one, and since the SON is in the FATHER, and the FATHER in the Son, by the union and power of the SPIRIT, the SON of GOD is the mind and word of GOD." See also §§ 12, 24.

S. Trinitate: Cf. Routh Opusc. vol. 1. p. 94. Adv. Prax. c. xxv. "The connexion of the FATHER in the SON, and of SON in the COMFORTER, makes THREE Persons cohering with one another. These THREE are one thing, not one Person; and therefore it is said, 'I and the FATHER are one' with regard to the unity of substance, not the singularity of number."

Ibid. c. xxxi. "It is made the chief article

of faith amongst the Jews, so to believe in one GOD, as not to join the SON or HOLY GHOST with Him, for what difference will there be except that between them and us? What is the business of the Gospel, or what is the substance of the New Testament, which acknowledge the Law and the Prophets until John, if from thence it do not appear that the FATHER, the SON, and the SPIRIT, who are believed to be THREE, yet constitute but one GOD?"-See Adv.

But if he will learn how GOD is demonstrated to be one, let him know that His virtue (essence, Dr. Burton) is one, and as far as is according to His virtue (essence) He is one GOD; but with respect to the œconomy (dispensation), His manifestation is threefold."-See also cc. xii. xiv., and Routh.
