that_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o god_n so_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o most_o mysterious_a point_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o believe_v in_o

consider_v and_o a_o person_n be_v that_o which_o subsi_v in_o this_o godhead_n as_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n if_o any_o man_n will_v conceive_v in_o mind_n right_o the_o

of_o the_o sun_n the_o light_n of_o the_o moon_n and_o the_o light_n of_o the_o air_n for_o nature_n and_o substance_n be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o light_n and_o yet_o they_o be_v three_o

so_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v one_o and_o the_o person_n be_v three_o subsist_v after_o a_o diverse_a manner_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o nature_n the_o three_o person_n be_v one_o not_o simple_o but_o one_o in_o nature_n that_o be_v coessential_a or_o consubstantial_a have_v all_o one_o godhead_n because_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o no_o more_o in_o nature_n consider_v that_o
