selfsame_a substance_n of_o father_n and_o son_n but_o so_o that_o the_o son_n be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a son_n a_o real_a subsist_v person_n substance_n of_o his_o father_n substance_n god_n of_o

notion_n of_o one_o substance_n which_o leave_v no_o substance_n nor_o any_o real_a subsistence_n to_o the_o son_n distinct_a from_o the_o father_n it_o be_v a_o bold_a stroke_n and_o worthy_a of_o our_o author_n to_o make_v the_o nicene_n council_n determine_v for_o sabellianism_n in_o the_o term_n homoousios_fw-la but_o yet_o he_o have_v a_o little_a story_n which_o he_o think_v prove_v it_o beyond_o exception_n for_o which_o he_o quote_v socrates_n that_o historian_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o happen_v a_o great_a quarrel_n in_o egypt_n about_o the_o word_n homoousios_fw-la 23._o which_o he_o say_v be_v like_o fight_v in_o the_o dark_a without_o distinguish_a friend_n from_o enemy_n for_o neither_o of_o they_o seem_v to_o understand_v each_o other_o as_o to_o those_o matter_n for_o which_o they_o reproach_v one_o another_o this_o our_o author_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o for_o it_o will_v not_o serve_v his_o purpose_n it_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o accusation_n on_o both_o side_n be_v causeless_a and_o like_o deal_v blow_n in_o the_o dark_a but_o now_o our_o author_n begin_v those_o father_n of_o the_o council_n that_o be_v against_o the_o term_n homoousios_fw-la but_o those_o father_n of_o the_o council_n be_v not_o in_o socrates_n but_o only_o those_o who_o decline_v the_o term_n homoousios_fw-la but_o the_o father_n of_o the_o council_n serve_v his_o purpose_n better_o and_o therefore_o he_o make_v bold_a with_o the_o historian_n or_o of_o one_o substance_n which_o the_o historian_n have_v not_o add_v neither_o accuse_v such_o as_o be_v for_o it_o as_o sabellian_o and_o montanist_n but_o the_o historian_n say_v do_v suppose_v that_o those_o who_o receive_v that_o term_n do_v introduce_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sabellius_n and_o montanus_n that_o be_v that_o this_o be_v their_o design_n in_o use_v that_o term_n which_o as_o he_o observe_v before_o be_v their_o mistake_n call_v they_o also_o blasphemous_a because_o they_o seem_v to_o take_v away_o by_o that_o word_n the_o real_a existence_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n while_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n they_o that_o stand_v for_o homoousios_fw-la believe_v that_o such_o as_o be_v against_o it_o do_v introduce_v more_o god_n and_o therefore_o detest_v they_o as_o revive_v paganism_n here_o our_o author_n leave_v off_o but_o i_o shall_v go_v on_o with_o the_o history_n eustathius_n bishop_n of_o antioch_n accuse_v eusebius_n pamphili_n as_o adulterate_v the_o nicene_n faith_n eusebius_n deny_v that_o he_o in_o the_o least_o depart_v from_o the_o nicene_n faith_n and_o accuse_v eustathius_n of_o sabellianism_n and_o thus_o they_o write_v against_o each_o other_o as_o adversary_n and_o yet_o both_o of_o they_o teach_v that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a person_n and_o have_v a_o real_a subsistence_n of_o his_o own_o and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n in_o three_o person_n that_o one_o will_v wonder_v whence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o they_o can_v not_o agree_v from_o this_o story_n our_o author_n thus_o reason_n this_o be_v a_o deciding-testimony_n in_o the_o case_n for_o the_o realist_n will_v never_o be_v able_a to_o show_v that_o if_o by_o homoousios_fw-la the_o council_n intend_v three_o distinct_a substance_n three_o being_n mind_n or_o spirit_n how_o the_o father_n of_o the_o council_n can_v be_v accuse_v of_o montanism_n and_o sabellianism_n for_o three_o intellectual_a infinite_a substance_n three_o divine_a being_n spirit_n or_o mind_n be_v the_o doctrine_n chief_o oppose_v by_o sabellius_n and_o montanus_n as_o all_o confess_v then_o by_o his_o own_o confession_n his_o nominalist_n be_v sabellian_o and_o all_o those_o father_n and_o council_n which_o condemn_v sabellius_n be_v realist_n and_o then_o we_o have_v get_v the_o nicene_n council_n again_o and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o council_n which_o contrive_v and_o defend_v homoousios_fw-la can_v as_o little_a censure_n those_o who_o be_v against_o it_o as_o introducer_n of_o tritheism_n and_o paganism_n if_o it_o have_v not_o be_v suppose_v that_o in_o oppose_v homoousios_fw-la they_o profess_v to_o believe_v three_o infinite_a substance_n in_o number_n three_o divine_a mind_n and_o spirit_n which_o be_v the_o very_a doctrine_n of_o the_o modern_a realist_n 1._o now_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o observe_v first_o that_o the_o historian_n say_v all_o this_o be_v a_o angry_a mistake_n as_o angry_a man_n be_v very_o apt_a to_o mistake_v and_o to_o reproach_v each_o other_o with_o their_o own_o mistake_n but_o neither_o of_o these_o party_n be_v guilty_a of_o the_o heresy_n they_o be_v charge_v with_o neither_o the_o one_o be_v sabellian_o nor_o the_o other_o tritheist_n now_o this_o i_o think_v prove_v the_o direct_a contrary_n to_o what_o he_o conclude_v from_o it_o for_o if_o those_o who_o be_v charge_v with_o sabellianism_n for_o own_v the_o homoousion_n be_v not_o sabellian_n than_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o they_o do_v not_o think_v that_o the_o nicene_n council_n by_o the_o homoousion_n or_o one_o substance_n mean_v one_o singular_a substance_n for_o that_o be_v sabellianism_n and_o when_o those_o who_o profess_v the_o homoousion_n and_o be_v no_o sabellian_n charge_v those_o who_o reject_v the_o homoousion_n with_o tritheism_n they_o must_v believe_v that_o the_o nicene_n homoousion_n be_v neither_o sabellianism_n nor_o tritheism_n but_o the_o middle_n between_o both_o such_o a_o unity_n and_o sameness_n of_o substance_n as_o be_v neither_o a_o sabellian_n singularity_n nor_o a_o tritheistick_a diversity_n and_o multiplicity_n of_o substance_n that_o be_v where_o father_n and_o son_n be_v in_o their_o own_o person_n as_o distinct_a from_o each_o other_o infinite_a substance_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o substance_n one_o of_o one_o god_n of_o god_n light_a of_o light_n this_o be_v the_o medium_fw-la which_o socrates_n tell_v we_o they_o both_o agree_v in_o and_o therefore_o wonder_v how_o they_o shall_v come_v to_o differ_v 〈◊〉_d that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v a_o true_a and_o proper_a person_n and_o have_v a_o real_a subsistence_n of_o his_o own_o and_o that_o there_o be_v one_o god_n in_o three_o person_n 2._o but_o if_o by_o homoousios_fw-la the_o council_n intend_v three_o distinct_a substance_n that_o be_v according_a to_o our_o sense_n three_o each_o of_o which_o be_v true_a and_o perfect_a substance_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o substance_n how_o can_v the_o father_n of_o the_o council_n be_v accuse_v of_o montanism_n or_o sabellianism_n have_v he_o consult_v dr._n bull_n he_o will_v have_v learn_v the_o difference_n between_o these_o two_o but_o let_v that_o pass_v he_o phrase_n this_o as_o if_o he_o will_v insinuate_v that_o the_o council_n itself_o be_v accuse_v of_o sabellianism_n for_o this_o term_n which_o be_v false_a but_o this_o word_n homoousios_fw-la have_v sometime_o be_v abuse_v to_o a_o sabellian_n sense_n though_o the_o council_n do_v not_o use_v it_o in_o that_o sense_n and_o some_o man_n may_v still_o conceal_v their_o heresy_n under_o the_o covert_a of_o a_o orthodox_n word_n for_o this_o reason_n some_o who_o profess_v the_o nicene_n faith_n yet_o dislike_v the_o homoousion_n and_o when_o this_o dispute_n have_v heat_v they_o it_o be_v too_o natural_a to_o charge_v those_o who_o from_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o nicene_n council_n defend_v the_o use_n of_o that_o word_n with_o such_o secret_a heretical_a sense_n as_o they_o think_v that_o word_n chargeable_a with_o and_o this_o be_v the_o whole_a truth_n of_o the_o case_n as_o socrates_n tell_v we_o and_o this_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a way_n to_o prove_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o council_n from_o the_o groundless_a accusation_n of_o angry_a and_o jealous_a man_n 3._o but_o how_o can_v the_o council_n which_o contrive_v and_o defend_v homoousios_fw-la censure_v those_o who_o be_v against_o it_o as_o introducer_n of_o tritheism_n and_o paganism_n which_o the_o historian_n witness_n that_o it_o do_v with_o great_a earnestness_n but_o socrates_n his_o historian_n say_v not_o one_o word_n of_o the_o council_n but_o only_o of_o these_o angry_a disputant_n censure_v and_o accuse_v each_o other_o and_o both_o unjust_o but_o he_o will_v say_v ascribe_v all_o this_o to_o the_o council_n because_o it_o be_v not_o father_n but_o council_n he_o rely_v on_o of_o which_o more_o present_o but_o there_o
