25. Besides, it is said that the three persons are one substance or essence, when nevertheless, they are divided as to their attributes. For it is said that the Father created, the Son redeemed and the Holy Spirit teaches. Those are Divine attributes. When they are divided it follows that the very substance or essence which is called one is divided, by specific attributes, into three essences.
