III.—From
the Acts of the Disputation Conducted by Malchion Against Paul of
Samosata.1419
| 1419 In
Petrus Diaconus, De Incarnat. ad Fulgentium, ch. 6.
Among the works of Fulgentius, Epistle 16. |

The compound is surely made up of the simple
elements,1420
| 1420 Ex
simplicibus fit certe compositum. | even as in the
instance of Jesus Christ, who was made one (person), constituted by God
the Word, and a human body which is of the seed of David, and who
subsists without having any manner of division between the two, but in
unity. You, however, appear to me to decline to admit a
constitution1421
after this
fashion: to the effect that there is not in this person, the Son
of God according to substance, but only the Wisdom according to
participation. For you made this assertion, that the Wisdom bears
dispensing, and therefore cannot be compounded;1422
| 1422
Quia sapientia dispendium patiatur et ideo composita esse non
possit—the sense intended being perhaps just that Paul
alleged that the divine Wisdom admitted of being dispensed or imparted
to another, but not of being substantially united with
him.—Tr. | and you do not consider that the divine
Wisdom remained undiminished, even as it was before it evacuated
itself;1423
and thus in
this self-evacuation, which it took upon itself in compassion (for us),
it continued undiminished and unchangeable. And this assertion
you also make, that the Wisdom dwelt in Him, just as we also dwell in
houses, the one in the other,1424
| 1424 Some
read alter in altero, others alter in altera. |
and yet not as if we formed a part of the house, or the house a part of
us.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
