...that which it consists, whereas the subsistence of each Person shows this very thing which exists and subsists. Basil also wrote an erudite epistle on the distinction of essence and subsistence to his brother Gregory, and Sozomen in book 5, chapter 12. Augustine, in On the Trinity, book 5, chapter 8, wrote thus about Essence: "I say essence, which is called οὐσία ousia/essence in Greek, which we more commonly call substance. They also say hypostasis substance/personhood, but I do not know what they wish the difference to be between οὐσία essence and hypostasis." So that many of ours have been accustomed to say one Essence and three hypostases subsistences, that is, substances. And in book 7, On the Trinity, chapter 5: "But yet, whether Essence is said, which is said properly, or substance, which is said abusively, both are said towards itself, not relatively to something else. Whence this is for God to be, which is to subsist. And therefore if the Trinity is one essence, it is also one substance. Perhaps, therefore, three Persons are more conveniently said than three substances, etc."
