So, then, the Father is holy, the Son is holy, and the Spirit is holy, but they are not three Holies; for there is one Holy God, one Lord. For the true holiness is one, as the true Godhead is one, as that true holiness belonging to the Divine Nature is one. - St. Ambrose, Book III on the Holy Spirit
Perhaps the so-called Athanasian Creed should receive a new nickname: the so-called AMBROSIAN Creed. Whoever wrote Quicunque vult must have read this!

BTW, this comment is a happy Napoleon Dynamite moment. The word I had to type in for "word verification" was liger.
