Austen speaketh secundum relatiuum relatiuely as the one is the father the other the sonne because Essentia non est illud quod generat saith I ombard it is not the Essence which begetteth Neither must we beleue quoth his Epitomist Spinaeus quòd Pater genuit diuinam esētiam that the Father begat the diuine essence which is also S Bernard his opiniō Quòd alter ex altero alter ad alterum est veracissimè dicitur this relatiō that one is of the other personarum designatio est non vnitatis diuisio is the designemēt of the persons not the distracting of the vnitie and this is Caluin his drift against Gētilis in saying that Christ was 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 God of him selfe beecause that blasphemer his opinion was that the Father was Essentiator filij and the sonne Essentiatus that the deitie of Christ was but a portion 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as a cantell cut out of Gods essence by a dependance and leaue not originally so that his meaning is as Bellarmine confesseth that Christ as God borrowed not his essence from the Father but communicated from all eternitie of the same essence with him there being as Cyril speaketh 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the same identitie of substāce in al the three persons else were not Christ God equall with his Father and so should commit a robbery in making himselfe so Phi. 2. for whatsoeuer incipit esse ex aliquo or per aliquod is not idem illi the same with it by which of which it hath his being saith Anselmus Therefore Austen concludeth that hee is called the sonne respectiuely to his father but Deus ad seipsum correspondent to that of Cyrill that the Father and Sonne respecting the substance are vnum principium for that he which was in the beginning with God was God Ioh. 1. 1. so that those speaches of the Fathers of Ignatius that the essence of the Sonne is genita begotten of Denis that in the Father is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the fountaine of the Deitie of Hilarie that the Son hath nothing nisi natum but to be borne of Augustine that the Father hath 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his essence of himselfe the Sonne 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 his essence frō another these I say are to bee vnderstood hypostatically in regard of the persons not essentially which is Caluins
