Chapter XXV.
Sabbatius,2616
| 2616 St. Servais, Bishop of Tongres 338, died at Maestricht 384. The
patron saint of Maestricht. Supposed by some to be the same as
Phebadius (Faegadius, Phaebadius, Segatius, Sabadius Phitadius (called
in Gascony Fiari)? bishop of Agen. Flourished 440 (Cave). | bishop of the Gallican province, at
the request of a certain virgin, chaste and devoted to Christ, Secunda
by name, composed a book On faith against Marcion and Valentinus
his teacher, also against Eunomius and his Master Aëtius, showing, both
by reason and by testimony of the Scriptures, that the origin of the
deity is one, that the Author of his eternity and the Creator of the
earth out of nothing, are one and the same, and likewise concerning
Christ, that he did not appear as man in a phantasm but had real flesh
through which eating, drinking, weary and weeping, suffering, dying,
rising again he was demonstrated to be man indeed. For Marcion and
Valentinus had been opposed to these opinions asserting that the origin
of Deity is twofold and that Christ came in a phantasm. To Aëtius
indeed and Eunomius his disciple, he showed that the Father and Son are
not of two natures and equal in divinity but of one essence and the one
from the other, that is the Son from the Father, the one coeternal with
the other, which belief Aëtius and Eunomius opposed.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
