17. So the Father is Lord, the Son is Lord, and the Holy Spirit is Lord.
18. And yet there are not three Lords, but one Lord.
19. For as we are compelled by Christian truth to confess [pg 426] of each one, that each person[82] is God and Lord; so we are forbidden by the Catholic religion from saying three Gods or three Lords.
20. The Father is not made, nor created, nor begotten.
21. The Son is from the Father alone; not made, nor created, but begotten.
22. The Holy Spirit is from the Son and the Father; not created, nor begotten, but proceeding.
23. Therefore there is one Father, and not three; one Son, and not three; one Holy Spirit, and not three.
24. And in this Trinity there is none before or after, none greater or less, but all three Persons are coeternal and coequal.
25. So that everywhere we must adore the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity.
26. Whoever, therefore, would be saved, must think thus of the Trinity.
