Some Remarks of the Fathers up∣on Sabellianism, and the wrong and Jewish Notion of One God which it held, and from whence it arose.
SImplices enim quique ne dixerim imprudentes, & idio∣tes, quae major semper credentium pars est, quoniam & ipsa regula fidei à pluribus Deis saculi ad Ʋnicum & verum Deum transfert, non intelligentes unicum qui∣dam sed cum suâ oeconomiâ esse credendum, expavescunt ad oeconomiam, numerum & dispositionem Trinitatis. Di∣visionem praesumunt unitatis, quando unitas ex semetipsâ derivans Trinitatem, non destruatur ab illâ sed admi∣nistretur. Itaque duos & tres jam jactitant a nobis praedi∣cari, se vero unius Dei ••ultores ••pr••••sunm••t, quasi non & unitas irrationaliter collecta Heresin faciat? & Tri∣nitas

It was Sabellius his plausible and twitting Question; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉? Epiphan. Heres. 62. Thus Noetus gloried in his being an Unitarian, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Id. Heres. 57. But the Fa∣ther calls him 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 for those Reasons, which are a Demonstration against his Opinion of One Being; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Epiphan. Ibid.
They brought all the places of Scripture for One God against the Real Trinity, as others do since, and run into their Error, to avoid Tritheism. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Epiph. Ibid.
From all which it is plain, and will be plainer to those who read these Authors at large, that it is Heretical to believe One God in a Jewish and Sabellian (I may add now in a Mahometan and Socinian) Sense, as well as Three Gods in a Gentile and Pagan, or Marcionite and Valentinian; and that Christianity is between those Extreams, believing One God the Fa∣ther, a Son, who is God begotten of him, and a Holy Ghost, who is God proceeding from both. I con∣clude with a Quotation which the Learned Reader will understand the full Purport of: 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. Greg. Nyssen. adv. Gre. T. 2. p. 82.
