The Practice of Piety

So that when we say,¹ that the divine essence is in the Father unbegotten: in the Son begotten: and in the Holy ⟨p. 22⟩Ghost proceeding:² we make not three Essences, but only show, the divers manners of subsisting, by which the same most simple, eternal & unbegotten Essence subsisteth in each Person:^* namely, that it is not in the Father by generation: that it is in the Son, communicated from the father by generation: and in the holy Ghost, communicated from both the Father and the Son by proceeding.
