Chapter
LXXXIII.
Samuel,2719
presbyter of the
church at Edessa, is said to have written many things in Syriac against
the enemies of the church, especially against the Nestorians, the
Eutychians and the Timotheans, new heresies all, but differing from one
another. On this account he frequently speaks of the triple beast,
while he briefly refutes by the opinion of the church, and the
authority of Holy Scriptures, showing to the Nestorians, that the Son
was God in man, not simply man born of a Virgin, to the Eutychians,
that he had true human flesh, taken on by God, and not merely a body
made of thick air, or shown from Heaven; to the Timotheans, that the
Word was made flesh in such wise, that the Word remains Word in
substance, and, human nature remaining human nature, one person of the
Son of God is produced by union, not by mingling. He is said to be
still living at Constantinople, for at the beginning of the reign of
Anthemius, I knew his writings, and knew that he was in the land of the
living.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
