  3 Pre|      acknowledge three persons in one Substance. For they designate
  4 Pre|            is put in the mouth of one debating and investigating
  5 Pre|        itself. For I believe that one will be much helped in understanding
  6 Pre|          is my opinion, too, that one who has first seen this
  7 1  |     knowledge of the existence of one Nature which is highest
  8 1  |          many ways, I shall adopt one which I consider easiest
  9 1  |      being.~It is easy, then, for one to say to himself: Since
 10 1  |        believe that there is some one thing, through which all
 11 1  |        are good? Or are they good one through one thing and another
 12 1  |         are they good one through one thing and another through
 13 1  |           is not understood to be one thing in one case and another
 14 1  |     understood to be one thing in one case and another in another,
 15 1  |         to be just, when compared one with another, whether equally,
 16 1  |         of justness, which is not one thing in one instance, and
 17 1  |         which is not one thing in one instance, and another in
 18 1  |       seem to be called good, the one by virtue of one thing,
 19 1  |        good, the one by virtue of one thing, the other by virtue
 20 1  |     apparently it is by virtue of one quality, that a horse is
 21 1  |         There is, therefore, some one being which is supremely
 22 3  |         through something that is one and the same, and all great
 23 3  |         through something that is one and the same; but whatever
 24 3  |         through something that is one and the same. For, everything
 25 3  |          is true, either there is one being, or there are more
 26 3  |            or there are more than one, through which all things
 27 3  |        But if there are more than one, either these are themselves
 28 3  | themselves to be referred to some one being, through which they
 29 3  |       they exist mutually through one another.~But, if these beings
 30 3  |        these beings exist through one being, then all things do
 31 3  |           exist through more than one, but rather through that
 32 3  |           but rather through that one being through which these
 33 3  |         this very power, which is one, and through which they
 34 3  |         this very being, which is one, than through these, which
 35 3  |        these, which are more than one, which, without this one,
 36 3  |          one, which, without this one, cannot exist.~But that
 37 3  |     beings exist mutually through one another, no reason can admit;
 38 3  |          exist thus mutually, the one through the other. For,
 39 3  |           all exist mutually, the one through the other, since
 40 3  |        there are more beings than one, through which all things
 41 3  |          which all exist, must be one. Since, then, all things
 42 3  |       that are exist through this one being, doubtless this one
 43 3  |         one being, doubtless this one being exists through itself.
 44 3  |      things.~There is, then, some one being which alone exists
 45 4  |       continued. ~FURTHERMORE, if one observes the nature of things
 46 4  |       there are more natures than one of this sort, and they are
 47 4  |        But, if they are more than one and equal, since they cannot
 48 4  |       through some cause which is one and the same, that one cause,
 49 4  |         is one and the same, that one cause, through which they
 50 4  |           they have not more than one essence, but a single essence,
 51 4  |           they have not more than one nature, but a single nature.
 52 4  |         be more such natures than one, than which nothing else
 53 4  |       wise can there be more than one nature of this kind. We
 54 4  |           is some nature which is one and single, and which is
 55 4  |           there will be more than one supreme being. But it is
 56 4  |         there cannot be more than one supreme being. There is,
 57 5  |          it.~But it is clear that one may say, that what derives
 58 6  |        shall wish to convince any one of the truth of my speculations,
 59 6  |          of my speculations, even one of the slower minds, through
 60 6  |         Nature, but some inferior one, nor is it what it is through
 61 6  |       subject in the way in which one says that the light lights
 62 6  |          much the same relations, one to another, as the light
 63 8  |           of experience, by every one, that the belief can be
 64 8  |     belief can be wrested from no one by argument, and can scarcely
 65 8  |    nothing be explained.~There is one way, according to which
 66 8  |       created at all; just as, to one who asks regarding a dumb
 67 8  |           this interpretation, to one who enquires regarding the
 68 8  |          nothing, in the way that one frequently says a rich man
 69 8  |          from a poor man, or that one has recovered health from
 70 8  |         riches and honors by some one, we say, "Lo, he has made
 71 10 |            For I express a man in one way, when I signify him
 72 10 | expression are in the language of one's race. But the words of
 73 12 |         once, by the utterance of one word; what conclusion can
 74 13 |         beings exist through some one being, hence that being
 75 13 |           live, live through some one being; hence that being
 76 15 |      expressions, at any rate, no one can doubt that no such expression
 77 15 |    predication.~Now, certainly if one diligently considers separately
 78 15 |           to be wise. For, though one who is just, but not wise,
 79 15 |      apparently a better man than one who is wise, but not just,
 80 16 |           to be just. Hence, when one is asked regarding the supreme
 81 17 |           said of its essence are one and the same in it: and
 82 17 |     compounded of more goods than one? Or is it true, rather,
 83 17 |           are not more goods than one, but a single good described
 84 17 |     compounded of more goods than one, all these facts that are
 85 17 |           these are not more than one, but are one. Any one of
 86 17 |        not more than one, but are one. Any one of them is, therefore,
 87 17 |        than one, but are one. Any one of them is, therefore, the
 88 17 |          the supreme Substance is one; so this substance is whatever
 89 17 |     whatever it is essentially in one way, and by virtue of one
 90 17 |         one way, and by virtue of one consideration. For, when
 91 17 |      three things are not said in one way, or in virtue of one
 92 17 |          one way, or in virtue of one consideration. For, in accordance
 93 17 |           For, in accordance with one fact, be is a material body;
 94 17 |         another, rational; and no one of these, taken by itself,
 95 18 |         that by no means is there one essence which exists from
 96 19 |      nothing to nothing.~For this one assertion, namely, that
 97 19 |        carries two meanings. For, one sense of this statement
 98 21 |         same lines, here separate one from another and seem to
 99 21 |       which exists as a whole, in one place, is so distinct from
100 21 |       another place?~Since, then, one whole cannot exist as a
101 21 |      Nature exists as a whole, at one time, in every individual
102 21 |         not exist, as a whole, at one time in individual places.~
103 21 |       places, then, when it is in one place, there is in the meantime
104 21 |          be so, if that Nature is one thing, at one time, and
105 21 |           Nature is one thing, at one time, and another, at another,
106 21 |         it exists, as a whole, at one time in all, or by parts
107 22 |          are not more wholes than one; and that its age, which
108 22 |           all truth asserted that one and the same whole cannot
109 22 |         more places or times than one --seeing, I say, that this
110 22 |          because it is present in one place, it is not therefore
111 23 |       existing things, that it is one and the same, perfect whole
112 27 |   essentially common to more than one substance, as being a man
113 27 |       that they are men; does any one conceive that, in the treatment
114 27 |         into more substances than one, nor unites with any other,
115 27 |        not body. But, seeing that one spirit has not any parts,
116 27 |       cannot be more spirits than one of this kind, it must, by
117 29 |          are not two spirits, but one. ~BUT now, having considered
118 29 |        that the supreme Spirit is one only, and altogether indivisible,
119 29 |          are not two spirits, but one.~ ~
120 30 |        consist of more words than one, but is one Word. ~WHY,
121 30 |       more words than one, but is one Word. ~WHY, then, should
122 30 |       consists of more words than one, or of one? For, if it is
123 30 |        more words than one, or of one? For, if it is so consubstantial
124 30 |          are not two spirits, but one; assuredly, just as the
125 30 |        consist of more words than one, but is one Word, through
126 30 |       more words than one, but is one Word, through which all
127 31 |          in a greater degree than one that is not living, a sentient
128 33 |         express himself, then, by one word, and what be creates
129 33 |           world, the substance is one.~How, then, if the substance
130 33 |         then, if the substance is one, are there two words? But,
131 33 |      corresponding to himself. By one and the same Word, then,
132 34 |     created being be expressed by one Word, especially since that
133 34 |          work which is made after one of the arts, not only when
134 34 |      whatever has been created by one and the same Word.~ ~
135 37 |        this relation as more than one being. ~BUT since it has
136 37 |           supreme Essence, except one, which is the only creator
137 37 |      simultaneously, as more than one, since there are not more
138 37 |    supreme creative essences than one. Therefore, just as he is
139 37 |        yet there are not two, but one creator and one beginning.~ ~
140 37 |          two, but one creator and one beginning.~ ~
141 38 |         be expressed plurally, as one speaks of two equal lines,
142 38 |          peculiar relation of the one to the other, since there
143 38 |           these attributes to the one that they are by no means
144 38 |         it is the property of the one to derive existence from
145 39 |         to be the property of the one, to be born of the other;
146 39 |           with all brevity, it is one and the same being which
147 39 |      which derives existence from one and the same being, and
148 42 |         It is the property of the one to be most truly progenitor
149 42 | consistent with the nature of the one to be the Father, and of
150 42 | consistent with the nature of the one to be the mother, and the
151 42 |         it is the property of the one most truly to beget, and
152 42 |         it is the property of the one to be most truly progenitor,
153 42 |        truly begotten. And as the one is most truly the parent,
154 42 |       other his offspring, so the one is most truly Father, and
155 43 |       impossible that necessarily one must be the progenitor and
156 43 |           other the begotten, and one the Father, the other the
157 43 |         the Son.~And although the one is one, and the other another,
158 43 |           And although the one is one, and the other another,
159 43 |           two; yet that which the one and the other are is in
160 43 |        other are is in such a way one and the same, that it is
161 43 |        two. For, in such a way is one the Father and the other
162 43 |  Spirit-Father and the Spirit-Son one and the same being, that
163 43 |          are not two spirits, but one Spirit. For, just as to
164 43 |          fathers or two sons, but one Father and one Son, since
165 43 |          sons, but one Father and one Son, since separate properties
166 43 |          are not two spirits, but one Spirit; although it belongs
167 43 |         their relations, that the one never assumes the property
168 43 |          they in nature, that the one ever contains the essence
169 43 |       virtue of the fact that the one is the Father and the other
170 44 |                 CHAPTER XLIV.~How one is the essence of the other. ~
171 44 |        the other. ~HENCE, even if one is called the essence of
172 44 |         thus honored. For, not as one conceives of a man's wisdom,
173 44 |        through the Son, as if the one could not be existent except
174 44 |            on the ground that the one could not subsist through
175 44 |    supremely simple and supremely one, it may consistently be
176 44 |           and conceived, that the one is so identical with the
177 44 |           with the other that the one possesses the essence of
178 44 |           an essence, just as the one possesses the essence of
179 44 |      essence of the other, so the one is the essence of the other,
180 44 |           the other, that is, the one has the same existence with
181 51 |        Son loves himself, and the one the other; since the Father
182 51 |          Spirit, and both at once one Spirit. And, since each
183 53 |       with the Father and the Son one spirit. ~BUT, what can be
184 53 |         would love themselves and one another.~It therefore follows
185 53 |         there cannot be more than one supreme Being, what inference
186 53 |          and the love of both are one supreme Being? Therefore,
187 54 |          does not exist except as one love. ~IT should be carefully
188 54 |      whether there are two loves, one proceeding from the Father,
189 54 |        the other from the Son; or one, not proceeding as a whole
190 54 |        proceeding as a whole from one, but in part from the Father,
191 54 |         Son; or neither more than one, nor one proceeding in part
192 54 |        neither more than one, nor one proceeding in part from
193 54 |         from each separately, but one proceeding as a whole from
194 54 |      Father and Son are more than one, but from that in which
195 54 |       from that in which they are one. For, not from their relations,
196 54 |    relations, which are more than one, but from their essence
197 54 |          at once are not two, but one Spirit; so from the Father
198 54 |           Son, not as two, but as one and the same whole.~ ~
199 55 |          does not at once show to one who contemplates it so evident
200 55 |           their offspring, either one of them is its father and
201 55 |   different words; therefore, the one is not its father, the other
202 55 |  differing in no respect, to some one being --of this no existing
203 57 |          with them not three, but one uncreated and creative being.
204 57 |         of both are not more than one, but one supreme Being,
205 57 |        are not more than one, but one supreme Being, which alone
206 57 |         at once are not more than one, but one uncreated and creative
207 57 |        are not more than one, but one uncreated and creative being.~
208 59 |          Spirit exist equally the one in the other. ~IT is a most
209 59 |          Spirit of both, exist in one another with such equality
210 59 |        with such equality that no one of them surpasses another.
211 59 |       three at once exist only as one supreme Being, but he same
212 59 |        and Son and Spirit embrace one another, and exist in one
213 59 |         one another, and exist in one another, that none of them
214 60 |      since among these three each one taken separately is so perfectly
215 61 |          there are not three, but one Father and one Son and one
216 61 |         three, but one Father and one Son and one Spirit. ~AND
217 61 |        one Father and one Son and one Spirit. ~AND here I see
218 61 |       supreme Being there is only one Father, one Son, one Spirit,
219 61 |         there is only one Father, one Son, one Spirit, and not
220 61 |         only one Father, one Son, one Spirit, and not three Fathers
221 62 |        these three more sons than one are born. ~BUT perhaps the
222 62 |  expressed?~For, if more men than one give expression to some
223 62 |           give expression to some one object in thought, apparently
224 62 |        each separately. Again, if one man thinks of more objects
225 62 |       thinks of more objects than one, there are as many words
226 62 |          are always so present to one another --for each one,
227 62 |         to one another --for each one, as we have already seen,
228 62 |           that, when they express one another, the one that is
229 62 |          express one another, the one that is expressed seems
230 63 |          among them there is only one Son of one Father, that
231 63 |          there is only one Son of one Father, that is, one Word,
232 63 |           of one Father, that is, one Word, and that from the
233 63 |        are there more beings than one expressed, when each one
234 63 |          one expressed, when each one expresses himself and the
235 63 |        and conceiving beings than one, but one knowing and one
236 63 |   conceiving beings than one, but one knowing and one conceiving
237 63 |          one, but one knowing and one conceiving being: so, each
238 63 |    expressive beings at once, but one expressive being.~Hence,
239 63 |          are not more beings than one expressed. For what is therein
240 63 |           If, then, that Being is one and only one, then what
241 63 |        that Being is one and only one, then what is expressed
242 63 |         then what is expressed is one and only one; therefore,
243 63 |         expressed is one and only one; therefore, if it is in
244 63 |       therefore, if it is in them one and only one which expresses,
245 63 |           is in them one and only one which expresses, and one
246 63 |          one which expresses, and one which is expressed --for
247 63 |          is expressed --for it is one wisdom which expresses and
248 63 |        wisdom which expresses and one substance which is expressed --
249 63 |           are not more words than one, but one alone. Hence, although
250 63 |          more words than one, but one alone. Hence, although each
251 63 |       alone. Hence, although each one expresses himself and all
252 63 |           himself and all express one another, nevertheless there
253 63 |          it is manifest that each one, that is, Father and Son,
254 63 |         others, and that there is one Word alone among them; yet
255 63 |         of all three, but only of one.~For it has been proved
256 63 |         are impossible where only one being is concerned, but
257 63 |      complete likeness it exists.~One Father, then, and not more
258 63 |           then, and not more than one Father; one Son, and not
259 63 |         not more than one Father; one Son, and not more than one
260 63 |        one Son, and not more than one Son; one Spirit proceeding
261 63 |        and not more than one Son; one Spirit proceeding from them,
262 63 |           them, and not more than one such Spirit, exist in the
263 63 |         they are is in such a way one that just as it cannot be
264 63 |          at once. And though each one expresses himself and all
265 63 |           himself and all express one another, yet there are not
266 63 |        among them more words than one, but one; and this Word
267 63 |          more words than one, but one; and this Word corresponds
268 63 |           to all together, but to one alone.~ ~
269 64 |         For it is my opinion that one who is investigating an
270 65 |           see and yet do not see, one and the same object; we
271 68 |         whatever within the scope one's power is better, ought
272 69 |       live in misery? But, if any one lives in freedom from these
273 75 |        the supreme Being.~For, if one says that he believes in
274 76 |         Son with their Spirit are one and the same supreme Being,
275 78 |    ineffable trinal unity, and in one Trinity; one and a unity
276 78 |        unity, and in one Trinity; one and a unity because of its
277 78 |        and a unity because of its one essence, but trinal and
278 78 |           three; yet I cannot, in one word, show why they are
279 78 |         it a unity because of its one substance.~For three persons
280 78 |       persons which are more than one so subsist separately from
281 78 |           subsist separately from one another, that there must
282 78 |         the case of more men than one, when there are as many
283 78 |          not more substances than one, so there are not more persons
284 78 |         are not more persons than one.~So, if one wishes to express
285 78 |          persons than one.~So, if one wishes to express to any
286 78 |        term, he shall choose some one of those terms which cannot
287 78 |         this wonderful Trinity is one essence or nature, and three
288 78 |       necessity, that supreme and one Trinity or trinal unity
289 78 |        unity may justly be called one Essence and three Persons
290 79 |         properly given. For every one who says that a God exists,
291 79 |        that a God exists, whether one or more than one, conceives
292 79 |          whether one or more than one, conceives of him only as
293 79 |          God, ineffably Three and One.~
