Every truth is triangular, and no demonstration responds to its object save in virtue of a triply triple formula.
Theory of Processional Relations; or of the Connection between Principiants and Principiates.
Theorem.
Each term in the Trinity is characterized processionally by the arrangement of the relations which unite it to its congeners. We will represent the nature of these relations by an arrow, the head of which starts from the principiant, touching with its point the principiate.
Example.
This established, let us see by what sort of relations we are to distinguish the persons in the Trinity represented by 1, 2 and 3.
1. The Father--a term exclusively principiant, giving the mission and not receiving it.
2. The Son--a term both principiant and principiate, receiving and giving the mission.
3. The Holy Ghost--a term exclusively principiate, receiving the mission and not giving it.
