Excerpt from Encyclopaedia Americana, Vol. 4: A Popular Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, Literature, History, Politics, and Biography, Brought Down to the Present Time
Un' neither confounding the persons, nor 'riding the substance. For (to give brie y the remainder of this position) there are three persons, but one Godhead. The Father, Son and Holy Ghost are uncreate, incomprehensible, eternal, almighty, God, Lord; yet tlrerearenot three Lords, Gods, almighty, eternal, incornprehensible, un created, but one. The Father is neither made, created nor begotten: the Son is of the Father alone, not made, nor crest ad, but begotten. The llo Ghost is of the Father and the Son, ueit er made, nor created, nor begotten, but proceeding; and in this Trinity none is afore or utter another; none is er or lea than an other. He, there ore, that will be saved must thus think of the Trinity. The em ond position establishes the doctrine of Christ's incarnation. It is necessary to everlasting salvation, that we believe rightly in the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. The right faith is, that he is the Son of God, God and man; perfect God and perfect man; yet not me, but one Christ; one, not by conversion of the Godhead into esh, but by taking of the manhood into God; one altogether, not by confusion of substance, but by unity of person. This is the Catholic faith, which except a man believe faithfully, he cannot be saved.
