Beschrijving
The Names of the Persons of the Holy Trinity. (Including the previous Type 1832G*.) A clergyman wants to teach a boy (shepherd, cowherd) the names of the persons of the Holy Trinity (a prayer). To help him, the boy is to associate the names with three (four) animals (buttons on his jacket). Later, when the clergyman meets the boy and asks for the names, the boy cannot remember them all because one of the animals died (was sold, one of the buttons fell off) [X435.4].
Or, a farmer is supposed to associate the names of the Holy Trinity with members of his family, father, son, and wife. He refuses to do so because he is certain that the Holy Ghost is not such a spendthrift.
Asked how many persons constitute the Holy Trinity and who they are, a boy answers, “Four”. He counts God the Father, his Son, the Holy Ghost, and Amen. (Previously Type 1832G*.)
