wise_a dispute_n on_o both_o side_n if_o the_o catholic_n as_o well_o as_o the_o arian_n have_v not_o allow_v that_o the_o son_n have_v a_o substance_n of_o his_o own_o proper_a and_o appropriate_a

they_o both_o assert_v three_o substantial_a person_n in_o opposition_n to_o sabellius_n and_o one_o substance_n in_o opposition_n to_o arius_n the_o catholic_n faith_n must_v lie_v between_o these_o

some_o few_o instance_n of_o each_o as_o for_o the_o first_o he_o tell_v we_o est_fw-la that_o life_n in_o the_o father_n be_v substance_n and_o life_n in_o the_o son_n which_o be_v beget_v of_o the_o

the_o first_o he_o tell_v we_o be_v to_o exclude_v all_o corporeal_a passion_n from_o the_o divine_a generation_n that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n suffer_v no_o change_n or_o diminution_n

they_o anathematise_v those_o who_o make_v the_o sit_v eternal_a substance_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o the_o father_n to_o be_v the_o unbegotten_a substance_n of_o god_n thereby_o make_v

eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o son_n that_o he_o be_v beget_v before_o all_o time_n and_o in_o no_o time_n some_o heretic_n take_v advantage_n of_o this_o to_o deny_v that_o there_o be_v any_o

this_o he_o call_v the_o heresy_n of_o union_n or_o sabellianism_n which_o this_o decree_n condemn_v whereas_o as_o he_o add_v to_o be_v eternal_a without_o any_o temporal_a beginning_n and_o to_o be_v unbegotten_a be_v two_o very_a different_a thing_n that_o which_o be_v eternal_a may_v be_v beget_v though_o not_o in_o time_n but_o that_o which_o be_v unbegotten_a be_v the_o sole_a eternal_a author_n of_o its_o own_o be_v and_o all_o that_o he_o be_v this_o i_o think_v be_v home_o to_o the_o purpose_n to_o deny_v that_o the_o son_n have_v a_o begotten_a substance_n proper_a and_o

father_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o son_n make_v father_n and_o son_n but_o one_o person_n which_o show_v that_o these_o father_n and_o st._n hilary_n never_o dream_v of_o three_o person_n in_o one_o singular_a substance_n now_o if_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v real_o distinct_a in_o substance_n and_o it_o be_v heresy_n to_o say_v that_o the_o unbegotten_a substance_n of_o the_o father_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o son_n any_o man_n will_v wonder_v what_o heresy_n it_o shall_v be_v to_o say_v that_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a personal_a substance_n in_o the_o trinity_n but_o to_o put_v this_o matter_n out_o of_o doubt_n st._n hilary_n in_o the_o next_o place_n express_o vindicate_v the_o synod_n of_o tria_fw-la antioch_n for_o attribute_v a_o

destroy_v the_o truth_n and_o reality_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o they_o say_v there_o be_v three_o substance_n thereby_o mean_v three_o subsist_v person_n not_o
