124. Christians were examined as to the quality of their idea regarding three Persons of the Divinity. It was discovered that they had various ideas. Some place the one alongside the other, as both being in consultation and sending out a third one from them. Some describe them in conference with Christ interceding. Some place them in successive order, some otherwise. But because there are three Gods in the presence of the Mahommedans and Gentiles who see their ideas, they are ashamed of them and on their guard against them.
