Athanasian Creed (Harley) n. 6

6. If thought concerning the Divine of the Lord be directed to His Human, and not to another Divine called the Father, then the thought and thence the faith does not fall to the left of the Lord, thus outside Him, but to the Lord. Accompanying the idea is the perception that no one comes to the Father except through Him, that is through His Divine Human. Examine yourselves, you who think of three persons. Is it not the case that, when the Father is named, such think of another Divine than that of the Lord Himself, thus outside Him?
