The Trinity Prefigured in the Name
clearly outlined beforehand and proclaimed beforehand the most ineffable and most mystical doctrine of the holy Trinity as well. The name of Abraham plainly displaying, signifying, and initiating into the mystery the Father and the Son and the holy Spirit — in agreement with the most manifest naming and numbering and handing down of Christ our Savior in the doctrine of God (Matthew 28:19).
Greek
σαφῶς προγεγραμμένον τε καὶ προδεδηλωμένον καὶ τὸ τῆς ἁγίας Τριάδος ἀποῤῥητότατον καὶ μυστικώτατον δόγμα, σαφῶς ἐξ ὀνόματος Πατέρα καὶ Υἱὸν καὶ ἅγιον Πνεῦμα ἐμφαινούσης καὶ σημαινούσης καὶ μυσταγωγούσης τῆς τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ προσηγορίας, κατὰ τὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν ἐπὶ τῆς θεολογίας ἀριδηλοτάτην ὀνομασίαν καὶ ἀπαρίθμησιν καὶ παράδοσιν.
