e Son is some one's Son, the Spirit is
some one's Spirit. Hence not even Trinity may be substantially[28]
predicated of God; for the Father is not Trinity--since He who is Father
is not Son and Holy Spirit--nor yet, by parity of reasoning, is the Son
Trinity nor the Holy Spirit Trinity, but the Trinity consists in
diversity of Persons, the Unity in simplicity of substance.

Now if the Persons are separate, while the Substance is undivided, it
must needs be that that term which is derived from Persons does not
belong to Substance. But the Trinity is effected by diversity of
Persons, wherefore Trinity does not belong to Substance. Hence neither
Father, nor Son, nor Holy Spirit, nor Trinity can be substantially
predicated of God, but only relatively, as we have said. But God, Truth,
Justice, Goodness, Omnipotence, Substance, Immutability, Virtue, Wisdom
and all other conceivable predicates of the kind are applicable
substantially to divinity.

If I am right and speak in accordance with the Faith, I pray you confirm
me. But if you are in any point of another opinion, examine carefully
what I have said, and if possible, reconcile faith and reason.[29]

Postulas, ut ex Hebdomadibus nostris eius quaestionis obscuritatem quae
continet modum quo substantiae in eo quod sint bonae sint, cum non sint
substantialia bona, digeram et paulo euidentius monstrem; idque eo dicis
esse faciendum, quod non sit omnibus notum iter huiusmodi scriptionum. Tuus
uero testis ipse sum quam haec uiuaciter fueris ante complexus. Hebdomadas
uero ego mihi ipse commentor potiusque ad memoriam meam speculata conseruo
quam cuiquam participo quorum lasciuia ac petulantia nihil a ioco risuque
patitur esse seiunctum.[30] Prohinc tu ne sis obscuritatibus breuitatis
aduersus, quae cum sint arcani fida custodia tum id habent commodi, quod
cum his solis qui digni sunt conloquuntur. Vt igitur in mathematica fieri
solet ceterisque etiam disciplinis, praeposui terminos regulasque quibus
cuncta quae sequuntur efficiam.
