98. Thus each Divine Person is God, and all of them but the same one God; as I explained it before. O no! asserted it. Ib.p.
98-9. This one supreme God is Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, a Trinity in Unity, three Persons and one God.
Now Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, with all their divine attributes and perfections (excepting their personal properties, which the Schools call the 'modi subsistendi', that one is the Father, the other the Son, and the other the Holy Ghost, which cannot be communicated to each other) are whole and entire in each Person by a mutual consciousness; each feels the other Persons in himself, all their essential wisdom, power, goodness, justice, as he feels himself, and this makes them essentially one, as I have proved at large. Will not the Arian object, "You admit the 'modus subsistendi' to be a divine perfection, and you affirm that it is incommunicable.
Does it not follow therefore, that there are perfections which the All-perfect does not possess ?" This would not apply to Bishop Bull or Waterland. Sect.
V.p.
