And Origen: We worship (faith he) the One God, and his one Son or Word, offering up our Prayers to the Supreme God through bis only begotten Son.

And Novatian: We believe (fays he) in the Lord Fefus Chrift, who is OUR God, but GOD's Son; namely, the Son of Him, who is the One and Only GOD, the Maker of all things.

And again: God the Father therefore is Alone unoriginated, the One God. The Son indeed is alfo God, conftituting a fecond Perfon, but not therefore bindring the Father from being the One God.

The Son is begotten, and derives bis Original from Him who is the One God.----For fince the Principle or Firft Caufe of all things,is That which is Unbegotten; (which God the Father only is ;) this flows, that though He which is Begotten is alfo God, yet the One God is He whom the Son bath declared to be Unoriginated. the Son acknowledgeth the whole Power of his Divinity to be derived from the Father, be declares the Father to be the One True Eternal God, from whom alone That divinity of the Son is derived-The Son indeed is foown to be God, as having Divinity derived and communicated to him; and yet nevertheless the Father is proved to be the One God, as being the Communicater of That Divinity.

cDeus quidem oftenditur Filius, cui divinitas tradita & porre&ta confpicitur; & tamen nihilominus Unus Deus pater probatur, qui dederat cam, &c. Ibid. cap. 31.

And Eufebius, in the following Paffages, (which are most of them cited by Dr Cave in his Differtation against Le Clerc in Defence of Eufebius's Orthodoxy:) The Son, saith he, baib bis Divinity by Dee rivation from the Father, as being the Image of God; So that there is but One Divinity confidered in Both, according to This Simili

And again: Though the Son (faith he) is by us acknowledged to be God, yet [properly speaking] there is but One God only; [or, there is but One, who is the Only God;] even He who Alone is "Underived and Unbegotten, who hath bis Divinity of Himself, and is the Caufe both of the Son's Being, and of his being What he is, [viz. of his being God.] This is the One God, even the Father of the only-begotten Son.
