Chapter

 1 2 |        can you fittingly either say or think concerning Him
 2 2 |     more--what can you worthily say of Him, who is loftier than
 3 3 |       of His discipline--Him, I say, who "spake, and all things
 4 6 |         ear, and hear,"--we who say that the law is spiritual
 5 8 |    wheels lie below--that is to say, the seasons--whereby all
 6 9 |        Christ, I will once more say, the Son of this God, we
 7 10|      might truly and constantly say to that fanciful--I know
 8 11|    substance of His body, as to say that He is only and alone
 9 11|        of man; nor does it only say, the Son of man, but it
10 12|     then, should we hesitate to say what Scripture does not
11 12|       with us? How then does He say that He is with us? He,
12 12|         from the south? If they say that it is the Almighty
13 12|       if they are accustomed to say that Christ is merely man;
14 13|      made by Him. But we cannot say that nothing was made by
15 13|      were made. For how can you say that He is man only, when
16 14|      the Baptist to testify and say, "He who cometh after me
17 14|        is only man, how does He say, "I am the bread of eternal
18 14|        is only man, how does He say that "no man hath seen God
19 14|        is only man, why does He say, "What if ye shall see the
20 14|     there, --the Word of God, I say, and God by whom all things
21 15|        is only man, how does He say, "Ye are from below, I am
22 15|        is man only, how does He say, "I proceeded forth and
23 15|        is only man, how does He say, "If any man shall keep
24 15|        was only man, how did He say, "Before Abraham was, I
25 15|       was only man, how does He say, "And I know them, and my
26 15| Scriptures cannot be broken, ye say of Him whom the Father sanctified,
27 15|       Father, when He said, "Ye say, Thou blasphemest, because
28 16|       was only man, how does He say that the Paraclete "shall
29 16|        Paraclete what He should say, not the Paraclete receive
30 16|       was only man, how does He say, "And now glorify me with
31 17|     same that John and the rest say; nay, both John and the
32 17|     received from Him what they say. For if John says, "All
33 17|       God makes man, that is to say, the Word of God, "by whom
34 17|  embrace all things? Or does He say that it is an angel descending
35 18|         would be. But they will say that it was an angel. How
36 18| Scriptures, in that, while they say that they believe Christ
37 19|         of God, and He does not say, in my place. It is then
38 19|   Scriptures, which continually say that He is both Angel and
39 20|     persons of men?" That is to say, consequently, charging
40 20|      reason, that although they say that this name was given
41 23|       divinity of Christ, as to say that He was without flesh,
42 24|      the Son of God." If, then, say they, the angel of God says
43 24|         is the Son of God. Man, say they, himself, and that
44 25|        BUT MAN ALSO.~Therefore, say they, if Christ is not man
45 26|    declared to be God. For thus say they, If it is asserted
46 26|         and Christ is God, then say they, If the Father and
47 27|      understand that He did not say "one "person. For one placed
48 27|       be understood, and says, "Say ye of Him, whom the Father
49 27|   portion of His discourse, "Ye say, Thou blasphemest, because
50 27|     Lord Christ Himself, and to say that Christ Jesus is the
51 28|         He immediately add, and say, "Whosoever believeth in
52 28|      than I." But what shall we say when He also continues in
53 30|        us. For as well they who say that Jesus Christ Himself
54 30|        error. And thus they who say that Jesus Christ is the
55 30| evermore." What, then, shall we say? Does Scripture set before
56 30|        Gods? How, then, does it say that "God is one?" Or is
57 31|  majesty, or power, I would not say nothing can be preferred,
58 31|       in the Father. And I thus say always, that I may show
59 31|         the Father,--that is to say, that divine substance whose
60 31|       the Father, reasonably we say, He would have given rise
