Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 185

185. According to the common idea, the Divine is divided into three Persons, but according to the idea derived from the Creed of Athanasius, there is a second Person, not only Divine but also a Human, so that in the second Person there is more than in the first or third, namely the Human. This argument can by no means be sustained unless there be in the Lord a Trine and unless His Human be Divine.
