aka Victricius Rothomagensis and Victricius Rotomagensis.

The following combines TWOGIG and RGA (Grantley McDonald).

● [On the Praise of the Saints]
4. Have mercy, therefore, have mercy; You have the power to pardon, we confess God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We confess that the three are one.
(Victricius of Rouen, On the Praise of the Saints, IV).

○ Latin:
Miseremini igitur, miseremini; habetis, quod ignoscatis, confitemur Deum Patrem; confitemur Deum Filium, confitemur sanctum Spiritum Deum. Confitemur quia tres unum sunt.
(Victricius Rotomagensis,, De Laude Sanctorum 4; Migne Latina, PL 20.446B; CCSL 64, p. 74-75)

=====================================

Is Victricius of Rouen giving a Trinitarian interpetation of the spirit, water and blood, as asserted by Grantley Robert McDonald in Raising the Ghost of Arius?

(4.) Have mercy, therefore, have mercy! You have what you can pardon. We confess God the Father; we confess God the Son; we confess God the Holy Spirit. We confess that these three are one. I said, one: indeed, they come from the One, just as the Son [comes] from the Father, thus the Father is in the Son; and just as the Holy Spirit [comes] from the Father and the Son, so the Father and the Son are in the Holy Spirit. They are one divinity and one substance, because there is one principle and one perpetuity, both existing before all things, and through whom all things were done. They are True God from True God because just as the one comes from the other so is the one in the other. Living One from the Living One, Perfect One from the Perfect One, Light from Light and Light in Light. Thus this Trinity’s divinity comes from the One and resides in the One. The Father is the Father; the Son is the Son; the Spirit is the Spirit. Three names, three by one principle, three by one power, three by one action, three by one substance, three by one perpetuity. Indeed, just as they are three from one, so there is unity in these three. We confess the Trinity in this way because we believe it to be this way: undivided, to Whose level nothing can reach, and Whom the mind cannot conceive, through Whom all things, visible and invisible (were created] be they Thrones, be they Dominations, be they Principalities, be they Powers. All things were made by Him, and without Him nothing was made (Jn 1:3].

Avery, how would one describe the Trinity without using the words "three are one?"

Is it possible to describe the Trinity without 1 john 5?
