Abstract
Two texts bring out the situation that faced Aquines as he sought to place the doctrine of the trinity within the framework of his absolute notion of God:

But the divine nature has being most powerfully. There is therefore, in it the greatest unity, and hence no plurality is in any way distinguished within it.1
