This holly scripture ateacheth us, that in this only and simple substance divine which we have confessed, there ⟨image 147⟩are three persons: The Father, the Son, and the holy ghost: the Father the first cause, beginning, and original of all things: the bSon, his word and everlasting wisdom: the Holy ghost, his virtue, power, and efficacy. The Son from everlasting begotten of the Father: The holy ghost proceeding from both: The three persons not confused, but distinct: and nevertheless not divided, but of one only substance, eternity, power and equality. And therein we also allow the determination of the ancient Councils: and detest all such sects and heresies, as have been rejected by the holy Doctors: as fainct Hillary, saint Athanasius, S. Ambrose, & S. Cyril.
