Note 36 — LETTER III. SOCINIANS AND UNITARIANS.
Reading edition
It is remarkable that persona should so often be confounded with individual. Persona in its original sense was the mask of the actor, through which the sound came. The same actor might wear many personæ. If Socinus had recollected this, he might have spared himself the trouble of controverting a notion never maintained by the orthodox, i.e. that the Deity was individually divided.
