Wherefore, not only the Scripture, but also the Qrthodox Writers in all Antiquity, do thus fpeak.

And Tertullian: As (lays he) the Word of God is not that fame Ferfon whofe Word He is, fo neither is the Spirit; And if he is caled God, yet it is not thereby meant that he is That God [or That fame Perfon] whofe Spirit he is. For No thing, which belongs to Another, [or, is the Relative of Another,] can be That fame Thing to which it belongs, [or, whofe Rela tive it is.] And again; fpeaking of those who did not approve His (or Montanus's) explication of the Doctrine of the Trinity: The ignorant. people, faith he, which are Idiotæ, quæ major fem per always the greatest part of per credentium pars eft, Believers, perpetually cry our; We hold fast the Monarchy, [or the Supreme God, over the Univerfe. And again; fpeaking of the Creed received in the univerfal Church; The Rule of Faith, (faith he,) is That whereby we believe in One God only, who made all things out of nothing, by his Word emitted first of all; Which Word, is called his Son. And Origen: We worship (faith he) the One God, and his one Son or Word, efering up our Prayers to the Supreme God through his 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 unthe One originated, God. The Son indeed is alfo God, conftituting a fecond Perfon, but not therefore bindring the Father from being the One God.
