4. ON A TRINITY OF PERSONS

FROM THE ATHANASIAN CREED READ TO CALVIN

I read before Calvin and several of the clergy that followed him these words from the Athanasian Creed:

There is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit.

And also these words:

As we are compelled by the Christian verity to acknowledge every person by himself to be God and Lord, so are we forbidden by the catholic religion to say, There be three Gods or three Lords.
