193. According to the Athanasian doctrinal concerning the Trinity, it cannot be thought otherwise than that three Gods together make one Divine. For it may be possible to think of three as being of one mind, but not concerning God being one as to person. Because this is the case, which was discerned by Athanasius, it was said that although there are three, still according to the catholic faith, it ought not to be said otherwise than one God. But thought and speech must be alike and the same, nor can they be otherwise.
