The Doctrine of the Trinity is plainly enough to be gathered from several passages in Irenaeus, Lib. 1. Cap. 2. Ecclesia accepit fidem quae est in unum Deum Patrem omnipotentem, & in unum Christum filium Dei incarnatum, & in Spiritum Sanctum, qui per Prophet as praedicavit. The Faith which the Church hath received, is in one God the Father omnipotent, and in Christ the Son of God, who was made flesh, and in the Holy Ghost, who spake by the Prophets. Do not these words hold forth a distinction of these three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? And cap. 19. Omnium Deus per verbum & spiritum omnia faciens, & gubernans. The God of all things, making and governing all things by his Word and Spirit. Here the making and governing of all things are attributed to the Word and Spirit, as well as to the Father; and as the former place doth show that he believed they were three distinct persons, so this latter place that he believed they were but one God.
Just. Martyr [Greek or Hebrew]. The Title of this Book being concerning faith in the holy Consubstantial Trinity, showeth he was not a stranger to this Doctrine. Read some of his words▪ [Greek or Hebrew] ⟨p. 52⟩[Greek or Hebrew]. When as the Father doth beget the Son of his substance, and of the same doth produce the Holy Ghost, most rightly they do partake of the same Essence, and are dignified with one and the same Godhead. What can be more plain? And he goeth on [Greek or Hebrew], &c. How can any say that he which begetteth, doth not differ from him which is begotten? that he which proceedeth doth not differ from him from whom he proceedeth? Here is Unity of Essence, and Trinity of distinct Persons asserted plainly. I shall add but one place more of many, in Resp. 17. ad Ortho. [Greek or Hebrew] Therefore there is but one God, in one indistinct Essence, and three Persons with distinction of their Persons, or Subsistences.
