Or in the form of a Triangle, since, just as three distinct angles are found in a triangular body within a single subject, so in the single Deity there exist three distinct persons in no way divided from unity. And, as it seems to us, that incomprehensible and infinite extension of the divine Triangle original: "Trigoni divini" can be described, not inaptly and according to the possibility of human understanding, by the following demonstration.

The following diagram illustrates the "Heaven of the Trinity" encompassing the entire created universe. The outer triangle represents God, while the concentric circles within represent the layers of the cosmos, from the highest spiritual realm to the physical Earth at the center.

God original: "Deus" can be compared to this incomprehensible Triangle because, comprehending all things in Himself and extending Himself everywhere by His power, He brings all things into action, and outside of Him there is nothing. Furthermore, each corner of the angle corresponds to a third part of the world, and yet all joined together in the unity of nature constitute one single regular, equal, and most perfect Triangle.

Similarly, it must be gathered from this same demonstration that, however much the for—
