one_o and_o in_o number_n the_o self_n same_o substance_n which_o the_o father_n have_v of_o himself_o unreceive_v from_o any_o other_o who_o see_v not_o sai_z s._n augustine_n that_o these_o word_n father_n maxim_n and_o son_n show_v not_o the_o diversity_n of_o nature_n but_o the_o relation_n of_o person_n and_o therefore_o the_o son_n be_v not_o of_o another_o nature_n and_o of_o a_o diverse_a substance_n because_o the_o father_n be_v god_n not_o from_o another_o god_n but_o the_o son_n be_v god_n from_o god_n his_o father_n here_o be_v not_o declare_v the_o substance_n but_o the_o

that_o the_o father_n be_v not_o eternal_o a_o deity_n beget_v but_o here_o you_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o error_n of_o arrius_n who_o against_o the_o truth_n reason_v thus_o if_o the_o son_n be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n tell_v we_o we_o beseech_v you_o whether_o he_o be_v beget_v when_o he_o be_v or_o when_o he_o be_v not_o if_o when_o he_o be_v then_o there_o be_v before_o two_o unbegotten_a and_o afterward_o one_o beget_v the_o other_o if_o when_o he_o be_v not_o than_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v late_a and_o after_o his_o father_n but_o say_v saint_n augustine_n as_o we_o have_v know_v only_o the_o father_n always_o and_o without_o beginning_n to_o be_v unbegotten_a so_o we_o confess_v the_o son_n always_o and_o without_o beginning_n to_o be_v beget_v of_o his_o father_n therefore_o because_o the_o father_n be_v original_o that_o deity_n from_o whence_o the_o son_n be_v the_o son_n though_o he_o be_v the_o same_o deity_n yet_o the_o father_n alone_o be_v
