Scotus on The Trinity

[dóxatotheó]

"What is common in creatures is not really one in the way in which what
is common is really one in the divine. For there the common is singular
and indivisible because the divine nature itself is of itself a “this.” And it
is plain that with creatures no universal is really one in that way. For to
maintain this would be to maintain that some created, undivided nature
would be predicated of many individuals by a predication that says “this
is this,” just as it is said that the Father is God and the Son is the same
God".
His views keeps the Trinity logical because he himself put the virtues of a deity and implicate it to the trinity its amazing.​

"‘God’ [in a proposition such as “God is Father, Son, and Spirit”] stands
for ‘this God’ in so far as it is a being in virtue of deity, and not for any
suppositum properly speaking in which the divine nature exists".

Taking just this selection out of the context of his entire thesis makes it look somewhat like double talk where his work was actually quite well done and very clear.

I agree I cannot get the entire book quotes as copyright infringement is quite hard for me to break
