XIV. What is our quarrel and dispute with
both? To us there is One God, for the Godhead is One, and all
that proceedeth from Him is referred to One, though we believe in Three
Persons. For one is not more and another less God; nor is One
before and another after; nor are They divided in will or parted in
power; nor can you find here any of the qualities of divisible things;
but the Godhead is, to speak concisely, undivided in separate Persons;
and there is one mingling of Light, as it were of three suns joined to
each other. When then we look at the Godhead, or the First Cause,
or the Monarchia, that which we conceive is One; but when we look at
the Persons in Whom the Godhead dwells, and at Those Who timelessly and
with equal glory have their Being from the First Cause—there are
Three Whom we worship.
