Original text and translations

Latin text

Profitentes unitatem,
veneremur trinitatem
pari reverentia;

tres personas asserentes
personali differentes
a se differentia.

Hec dicuntur relative,
cum sit unum substantive
non tria principia;

sive dicas tres vel tria,
simplex tamen est usya,
non triplex essentia.

Simplex esse, simplex posse,
simplex velle, simplex nosce,
cuncta sunt simplicia.

Non unius quam duarum
sive trium personarum
maior efficatia.

Digne loqui de personis,
vim transcendit rationis,
excedit ingenia.

una virtus, unum numen,
unus splendor, unum lumen,
hoc unum quod alia.

Patri compar, filioque
Spiritalis ab utroque
procedit connexio.

Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto.
Alleluya.
Amen.
