CHAP. XLVI. Concerning the Apollinaristae, and their Heresie.

AT Laodicea in Syria, there were two men of the same name, the Father and the Son: For each of their names was Apollinaris. The father was dignified with a Presbyterate in that Church: the son had a Readers place. They were both Teachers of Grecian Literature; the father taught Grammar, the son Rhetorick. The father was by birth an Alexandrian, and having at first taught at Bery••us, he removed afterwards to Laodioea, where he married; and bega•• his son Apollinaris. They both flourished at the same time with Epiphanius the Sophista, and being very intimate friends, they conversed together with him. But Theodotus Bishop of Laodicea, fearing that by their continual converse with that person they should be perverted to Gentilism, forbad their going to him. They regarding the Bi∣shops [prohibition] very little, continued their intimacy with Epiphanius. After this, Georgius, successour to Theodotus, endeavoured to reform [and wean] them from conversing with Epi∣phanius; but being unable to perswade them by any means, he punished them both with Ex∣communication. Apollinaris the son lookt upon what was done to be an injury, and confiding in the fluentness of his Sophistick faculty of speaking, he also framed a new Heresie, which flourisheth at this present, and bears the name of its Inven∣tour. But some do report, that they dissented from Georgius, not so much upon account of the forementioned reason, but because they saw he maintained absurdities; sometimes professing the son to be like the father, (according as it had been determined [in the Synod] at Seleucia;) at others inclining to the Arian opinion. Lay∣ing hold therefore of this specious pretext, they made a separation [from him.] But when they saw no body adhered to them, they introduce a [new] Scheme of Religion. And at first asserted, that a 1.1 humanity was assumed by God the Word in the Oeconomy of his incarnation, without the soul. But afterward, rectifying their former errour by repentance as it were, they added, that the soul was indeed assumed: but that it had not a mind, but that God the Word was in the place of a mind, in his assumption of Humanity. As to this point only these [Hereticks] do affirm that they dissent [from Catholicks,] who from them are now called Apollinaristae. For they assert that the Trinity is Consubstantial. But we shall mention the two Appollinaris's again in due place.

Notes

a 1.1

The Ari∣ans asser∣ted a tenet neer of kin to this of the Apolli∣naristae, or Apollinari∣uns. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 &c. Arius (says Athanasius de Adv. Christi,) prosesses the flesh only to be the Cover of the Deity: and asserts the Word to have been in the flesh, in the stead of our inner man, that is, the soul. In this opinion he was followed by Eunomius, as Theodoret informs us, Contr. Haeres. book 5. chap. 11. But the Apollinarians differred from him: for they distinguished (as we may see from this passage in our Socrates) be∣tween the soul and mind of man; acknowledging (in the second E∣dition of their Heresie) that God the Word assumed an humane Body and a Soul; (which latter Arius and his crew denied) but not the mind, or spirit of man: the place whereof was supplied, said they, by the Word it self. This Phylosophick notion (making Man consist of three parts, a body, a soul, and a mind;) they borrowed from Plo∣tinus; so says Nemeseus in his de Nat. Hom.
