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

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

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

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
