Part, Paragraph

  1   1, 12|          speak of the essence, or nature, or genus, or substance
  2   1, 12| unquestionably a permanent genus, nature or substance. When, therefore,
  3   1, 12|        say that essence signifies nature, or genus, or substance,
  4   1, 12|         permanently exists in the nature, genus, or substance. Now,
  5   1, 13|           his original's species, nature and essence in virtue of
  6   1, 15|         is here insisted that the nature is indistinguishable and
  7   1, 15|    essence similar in species and nature. Or what distinction can
  8   1, 15|           and Son affecting their nature with its similar genus,
  9   1, 15|        Son subsisting through the nature begotten in Him is invested
 10   1, 15|           perfect likeness of the nature imaged in Himself.~IV. "
 11   1, 16|    perfect birth of the undivided nature. For what in each is life,
 12   1, 16|             He keeps in Himself a nature wholly similar to His original,
 13   1, 16|            in likeness to His own nature, He in whom is the unbegotten
 14   1, 17|    whatever kind, attains its own nature from the nature that begets
 15   1, 17|           its own nature from the nature that begets it: but creation
 16   1, 17|         the act of the changeless nature of her Parent, which nature,
 17   1, 17|       nature of her Parent, which nature, unlike the manner and wont
 18   1, 17|         might, not the birth of a nature from a nature that besets
 19   1, 17|          birth of a nature from a nature that besets it. But because
 20   1, 18|         shew that she possesses a nature that was born and not created,
 21   1, 18|     creation she implies that the nature of the Father is changeless,
 22   1, 18|         that the substance of her nature begotten of God the Father
 23   1, 18|     latter the reality of her own nature. The two things combined
 24   1, 18|           and the Son's Father by nature, so forms the Son as to
 25   1, 19|      deprive Him of similarity of nature. This is foolish and impious,
 26   1, 19|           the result of a similar nature. For a lower nature can
 27   1, 19|       similar nature. For a lower nature can never attain to the
 28   1, 19|          higher and more powerful nature. What will the men who make
 29   1, 19|           if the might of a lower nature is made equal to His own?
 30   1, 19|     likewise.~No, a similarity of nature follows on a similarity
 31   1, 19|       Himself. In life is implied nature and essence; this, Christ
 32   1, 19|      similarity of life where the nature is dissimilar. So it is
 33   1, 19|         preach a dissimilarity of nature, since it is the chief ground
 34   1, 20|           Persons have a distinct nature of a different essence,
 35   1, 20|         unless it be based on the nature of his offspring. So the
 36   1, 20|    Himself and yet not of His own nature. We shall not call God Father
 37   1, 20|     activity, but for begetting a nature of an essence not unlike
 38   1, 20|   dissimilarity with the Father's nature. Therefore those are anathema
 39   1, 20|         the Father is Father of a nature unlike Himself, so that
 40   1, 21|       seems to retain identity of nature.~
 41   1, 22|          proclaim a similarity of nature in the Father and the Son
 42   1, 22|     perfect, and remains alike in nature; not taking its beginning
 43   1, 22|           belongs to an identical nature.~IX. "And if any one, because
 44   1, 23|      wished there to be in us the nature of different creatures:
 45   1, 23|          result of an identity of nature, lest we should understand
 46   1, 23|          likeness of an identical nature through an essential birth:
 47   1, 23|      birth: yet the similarity of nature does not injure personality
 48   1, 23|       away with the similarity of nature by admitting distinct personal
 49   1, 23|          cannot be of a different nature.~X. "And if any one admits
 50   1, 27| undistinguished from the Father's nature: there, just as an identical
 51   1, 27|         through any difference of nature: there, though the likeness
 52   1, 27|            though the likeness of nature is the same in each, the
 53   1, 33|           between the essence and nature of the Father and the Son.
 54   1, 33|        born of whole God. For the nature of God who is of God admits
 55   1, 33|         differ from the birthless nature since the perfection of
 56   1, 33|       since in all that glory and nature of Godhead in which the
 57   1, 33|     change. For in His birth that nature from which He is born is
 58   1, 33|         origin is in a changeless nature. For though He is an image,
 59   1, 33|         not be in Him a change of nature caused by any unlikeness
 60   1, 35|         He who does not differ in nature cannot be separable by time.~
 61   1, 36|           according to God's true nature His substance does not admit
 62   1, 36|     though the substance of their nature and that of God is different.
 63   1, 36|          gods. Furthermore in the nature of God, God is one, yet
 64   1, 36|          there is not a different nature: and since He is God of
 65   1, 36|         the quality of the divine nature. Since therefore he is anathema
 66   1, 36|      guards the similarity of the nature begotten and the nature
 67   1, 36|           nature begotten and the nature begetting, confirming it
 68   1, 37|         of the substance of their nature being similar in each. The
 69   1, 37|   incapable of birth: because the nature of the Son only draws its
 70   1, 37|     existence from birth. But the nature of the birth is in Him so
 71   1, 37|        the process of a corporeal nature, springs the absolute perfection
 72   1, 38|       induced by any necessity of nature to beget the Son: but as
 73   1, 41|       ground of their identity of nature and name be one in the kind
 74   1, 42|    account of their similarity of nature seemed to offer an opportunity
 75   1, 42|        substance of the undivided nature in each Person.~V. "If any
 76   1, 43|           a personally subsistent nature: that is, because the Father
 77   1, 43|           substance of the divine nature, and that all things which
 78   1, 44|    outside the bond of any bodily nature, He supplies out of Himself
 79   1, 45|   produced by the increase of His nature and assuming manhood might
 80   1, 47|         Son not under the head of nature or by diversity of substance,
 81   1, 47|     pre-eminence as His birthless nature gives.~XI. "If any man hearing
 82   1, 49|   possible. Possibility denotes a nature that is weak; but suffering
 83   1, 49|           so when He suffered His Nature remained immutable because
 84   1, 51|           for the exactly similar nature. That the Son is not on
 85   1, 51|           cause a degeneration of nature, since in spite of the fact
 86   1, 51|          a name which denotes His nature. Having a name which belongs
 87   1, 54|         through the virtue of His nature, which is exactly similar,
 88   1, 57|         the true character of His nature causes the name that is
 89   1, 57|        way different from His own nature. The Jews interpret this
 90   1, 58|           birth gave to the Son a nature from a substance that is
 91   1, 58|     personality as God has. God's nature did not produce a nature
 92   1, 58|          nature did not produce a nature unlike itself: but the Son
 93   1, 58|        derived the essence of His nature by virtue of His origin,
 94   1, 58|          will by any necessity of nature, to beget Ills Son; but
 95   1, 59|          not in virtue of His own nature, an opportunity seemed thereby
 96   1, 59|         forth the Son by a law of nature in spite of Himself. But
 97   1, 59|          to beget Him, nor is the nature of the Begetter changed
 98   1, 59|         out of the essence of His nature, with a desire that was
 99   1, 59|       conveyed the essence of His nature.~XXVI. "If any man says
100   1, 60|         no longer be One: for the nature of the one Unborn God demands
101   1, 60|         embrace the Only-begotten nature, begotten from the unborn
102   1, 64|         belonging to one name and nature. One is not superior to
103   1, 64|           of a name anti not of a nature. We confess that the Father
104   1, 64|           We recognize that their nature is mutual and similar because
105   1, 64|        similarity of an identical nature one, in such a way that
106   1, 65|       thereby prove that my human nature, though not my will, is
107   1, 65|       weak: and I pardon my human nature if it cannot speak as it
108   1, 68|           the birth of the divine nature but a severing or sharing
109   1, 69|       Father in might, honour and nature, that He is subject to the
110   1, 69|          not one in Person but in nature, for the Born and the Begetter
111   1, 70|           and the likeness of His nature, and then we may preach
112   1, 71|         character of the begotten nature, not from any division,
113   1, 71|         the true character of the nature and not to imply a blasphemous
114   1, 72|        equal? If I say the divine nature is one I am suspected of
115   1, 73|       name SethI ask what was the nature of his likeness and image
116   1, 73|         exists in Seth differs in nature from the author of his being,
117   1, 73|        though we deny it, for his nature was not different. This
118   1, 73|       different. This likeness of nature in Seth was not due to a
119   1, 73|          in Seth was not due to a nature of a different kind, since
120   1, 73|         we see that a likeness of nature renders things equal because
121   1, 73|            And with regard to the nature of the Father and the Son

123   1, 74|     without effect upon Himself a nature which was neither another
124   1, 74|           another nor a different nature, He cannot have given Him
125   1, 74|         Person but by equality of nature.~

129   1, 76|  Therefore, brethren, likeness of nature can be attacked by no cavil,
130   1, 76|         qualities of the Father's nature because He is like Him.
131   1, 76|           there is no equality of nature, and equality of nurture
