He answered that he had thought of three unanimous Gods. (2) I asked how he could reconcile and make his thought and speech to be one, when it is allowed to confess each Person to be a God by Himself. He answered that he could not. (3) I asked how three could be one; whether it was by unanimous consent, or in some other way. He answered that it was by influx. (4) I asked how could one person continually think the same as another? must not each one think something by himself? He answered that he had not thought of this before, and that now when he did think of it, he perceived that each Person must also think something by Himself. (5) I asked how then were they one indivisible essence? did not the essence thus become divided? He answered, that sometimes it becomes divided, but that they finally accommodate themselves. (6) I asked him whether the essence is divided when the Son, as Mediator and Intercessor, speaks to the Father. He answered, that it is then divided, but only at that moment. (7) I asked him whether there were not thus three Creators of the universe. He answered that there were, but that one did the work of creation through the other, _ the Father through the Son, and the Son through the Holy Spirit (8) I asked him what idea he had of the birth of the Lord from eternity. He answered that he had a vague idea.
