Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 121

121. The Lord means His Divine by "the Father"; this assumed the Human, wherefore it is like a soul in its body. For the Father is not to be understood as a first person. In this case there would have been two fathers. The Divine cannot be in a body other than His own, thus it must be Divine.
