Word. This is the Father of our Lord Jefus Chrift. Again: This God is the Father of our Lord fefus Chrift; and of Him it is, that St Paul the Apoftle declares, There is One God, even the Father, who is above all, and through all, and in us all. Again: Our Lord acknowledges One Father; and that He is the God over All. Again; The One only God, the Creator, who is above all principality,dominion and Power. This is the God of Abraham, the God of Ifaac, the God of Facob; whom both the Law Shows forth, and the Prophets declare, and the Spirit reveals, and the Apostles preach, and the Church has believed This is the Father of our Lord Jefus Chrift. Again: The Doctrine delivered by the Apoftles; viz. that there is One God Almighty, -and that He is the Father of our Lord fefus Chrift. on. noftri Jefu Chrifti. lib. x. c. 19.

Domini -confiten- Solus unus Deus fabri- Ab Apoftolis tradi- Again: メ Again; Believing in One God, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, and of all things that are therein, by Jefus Chrift the Son of God. Again: Settling in the Church, the Rule of Truth; that there is One God Almighty, who made all things by his Word, [viz. by Christ.] Again: The only-begotten Son came to us from the One God; For no man can know the Father, but by the Revelation of the Son. Again: First of all, believe that there is One God, who made all things. As faith the Apoftle; There is One God, even the Father, who is above All, and in us all. Again: In One God Almighty, of whom are all things; and in the Son of God, Jefus Chrift our Lord, by whom are all things; and in the Spirit of God. In Unum Deum credentes, fabricatorem cæli & terræ, & omnium quæ in iis unt, per Chriftum Jefum Dei filium. lib. 3. c. 4. Regulam veritatis conftituere in Ecclefia, quia eft Unus Deus omnipotens, qui per Verbum fuum omnia fecit. lib. 3. c. 11. Ab Uno Deo unige nitus Filius venit ad nos, Neque enim Pa trem cognofcere quis potest, nifi Filio re velante, lib. 4. c. 14. Primò omnium crede, quoniam Unus eft Deus, qui omnia constituit. Confequenter autem & Apoftolus ait, Unus Deus (inquit) Pater, qui fuper omnes, & in omnibus nobis. lib. 4. c. 37. in like manner: The Na-T μóve TaνToneÝTOCI, TOGE to Him who Alone is Supreme over all; is most bene ficent. And again: This eternal Jefus, (faith he,) the One great High-Priest of the One God, who is also bis Father. 'AINO TO 'Inous, as i gas dexregeù's Oer Te Êvòs, du Tares. Protreptic. ad Gentes. And Tertullian: As (fays he) the Word of God is not that fame Ferfon whofe Word He is, fo neither is the Spirit, And if he is cal ed God, yet it is not thereby meant that he is Thats God [or That fame Perfon] whofe Spirit be is. For No thing, which belongs to Another, [or, is the Relative of Another,] can be That fame Thing to which it belongs, [or, whofe Relative it is.] Sicut ergo fermo Dei X non eft ipfe cujus eft, ita nec fpiritus; & fi Deus dictus eft, non tamen ipfe cft cujus eft dictus. Nulla res alicujus, ipsa est cujus eft. Adv. Prax. c. 26. And again; fpeaking of those who did not approve His (or Montanus's) explication of the Doctrine of the Trinity: The ignorant people, faith he, which are Idiotæ, quæ major fem per —Monarchiam, inquiunt, tenemus. ibid. c. 3. Goverment of the One always the greatest part of per credentium pars eft, Believers, perpetually cry out; We bold faft the Monarchy, [or the Supreme God, over the Universe. And again; fpeaking of the Creed received in the univerfal Church; The Rule of Faith, (faith he,) is That whereby we believe in One God only, who made all things out of nothing, by his Word emitted first of all; Which Word, is called bis Son. And Origen: We worship (faith he) the One God, and bis one Son or Word, offering up our Prayers to the Supreme God through bis only begotten Son. And Novatian: We believe (fays he) in the Lord Fefus Chrift, who is OUR God, but GOD's Son; namely, the Son of Him, who is the One and Only GOD, the Maker of all things. And again: God the Father therefore is Alone unthe One originated, God. The Son indeed is alfo God, conftituting a fecond Perfon, but not therefore bindring the Father from being the One God. Regula eft autem fidei, illa fcilicet, quâ creditur Unum omninò Deum effe, -qui univerfa de nihilo produxit per Verbum fuum primò omnium emiffum; id Verbum Filium ejus appellatum. Prafcr. adv.

Ibid. cap. 31. the Son acknowledgeth the whole Power of bis Divinity to be derived from the Father, be declares the Father to be the One True Eternal God, from whom alone That divinity of the Son is derived. -The Son indeed is shown to be God, as having Divinity derived and communicated to him; and yet nevertheless the Father is proved to be the One God, as being the Communicater of That Divinity. .
