And again: Though the Τῇ ὑὲ πρὸς ἡμῶν ὁμολογε Son (faith he) is by us ac-jévé Dex, as av yeVOLTO μóknowledged to be God, yet [properly speaking] there is but One God only; [or, there is but One, who is the Only God;] even He who Alone is Underived and Unbegotten, who bath bis Divinity of Himself, and is the Caufe both of the Son's Being, and of his being What he is, [viz. of his being God.] This is the One God, even the Father of the only-begot ten Son.

And again: The Son bime elf declares the Father to be even His God alfo.---And therefore the Church preaches, that there is but One God.

And again: As all other things, fo the Glory of bis Divinity alfo has he received by communication from the Father . ας true and only Son. But the Father did not receive His from Any, but being Him Self the Original and Fountain and Root of all Good, is therefore justly filed the One and Only God.

And again: The Church preaches the One God, and that He is the Father and Supreme over All; and that Jefus Chrift,i God of God. And again: The Apoftle files Chrift the Image of God, that no Man might imagine Two Gods, but One only, even Him who is over All. For if there be One God and there be None other but He; 'tis plain This must be He, who is made known by bis Son as And Athanafius: One Θεόν God, (faith he) and One [who is the] Word of God

And again: The One and Only True God; Ι mean, the Father of Chrift.

Again: That ferus Chrif our Lord and God incarnate, is not the Fazber, nor, as the Sabellians would have it, [That fame Perfon who is filed] the Only God; This the Holy Scriptures every where refife, Declaring, that it was the Son of God, which came in the Flefb; and that he always spake of his Father, and profefed that be came forth from bis Father, and was to return to bis Father. In proof of which, there is no need to allege particular paffages;

a Son to a Father.

For (as Ifaid) all the Gofpels, and all the Writings of the Apoftles tend to this very Point. Again: There is but One God, becaufe the Father is but One ; yet is the Son alfo God, having fuch a Sameness as that of Again: Because He only vix. the Father] ἐς unbegotten, and He only is the Fountain of Divinity; therefore He is filed the Only God.

And again: When therefore the Father is filed the Only God, and the Scripture fays that there is One God, &c. And again: We acknowledge but One Original of Things ; and afirm that the Creating Word has no other fort of Divinity, but That which he derives from Begotten of him.

And again: The One God, is the Father; who exifts by Himself, as being over All, and is manifefted by his Son, &c.

And again: Because Chrift is God of God,therefore the Scripture declares there is but One God: For, the Word being the Son of the One God &c.

And Hilary: The Son's. being God, does not binder the Father from being the One God; For He is therefore the One God, becaufe be is Self-exiftent God.
