11. The Trinity of Persons is such, as is no way contrary to the perfect Unity of the Divine essence; As the faculties of Motion, Light and Heat in the Sun, and of Vital Activity, Intellection and Volition in man, is not contrary to the Unity of the essence of the soul: (yet man is not so perfectly One as God is.)
