§8. Arians date the Son’s
beginning earlier than Marcellus, &c.
8. Eusebius and his fellows, that is, the
Ario-maniacs, ascribing a beginning of being to the Son, yet pretend
not to wish Him to have a beginning of kingship3318

&c. | .
But this is ridiculous; for he who ascribes to the Son a beginning of
being, very plainly ascribes to Him also a beginning of reigning; so
blind are they, confessing what they deny. Again, those who say that
the Son is only a name, and that the Son of God, that is, the Word of
the Father, is unessential and non-subsistent, pretend to be angry with
those who say, ‘Once He was not.’ This is ridiculous also;
for they who give Him no being at all, are angry with those who at
least grant Him to be in time. Thus these also confess what they deny,
in the act of censuring the others. And again Eusebius and his fellows,
confessing a Son, deny that He is the Word by nature, and would have
the Son called Word notionally; and the others confessing Him to be
Word, deny Him to be Son, and would have the Word called Son
notionally, equally void of footing.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
