176 Two senses of the word Son, 1. adoptive; 2. essential; attempts of Arians to find a third meaning between these; e.g. that our Lord only was created immediately by God (Asterius's view), or that our Lord alone partakes the Father. The second and true sense; God begets as He makes, really; though His creation and generation are not like man's; His generation independent of time; generation implies an internal, and therefore an eternal, act in God; explanation of Prov. viii. 22. 177 Proof of the Catholic Sense of the Word Son. Power, Word or Reason, and Wisdom, the names of the Son, imply eternity; as well as the Father's title of Fountain. The Arians reply, that these do not formally belong to the essence of the Son, but are names given Him; that God has many words, powers, &c. Why there is but one Son and Word, &c. All the titles of the Son coincide in Him. 178 Defence of the Council's Phrases, “from the essence,” And “one in essence.” Objection that the phrases are not scriptural; we ought to look at the sense more than the wording; evasion of the Arians as to the phrase “of God” which is in Scripture; their evasion of all explanations but those which the Council selected, which were intended to negative the Arian formulæ; protest against their conveying any material sense. 179 Authorities in Support of the Council. Theognostus; Dionysius of Alexandria; Dionysius of Rome; Origen. 180 On the Arian Symbol “Unoriginate.” This term afterwards adopted by them; and why; three senses of it. A fourth sense. Unoriginate denotes God in contrast to His creatures, not to His Son; Father the scriptural title instead; Conclusion. 181 Introduction. 182 De Sententia Dionysii. (Defence of Dionysius.) 183 Introduction. 184 Prologue. 185 Preface. 186 Sections 1, 2 187 Sections 3, 4 188 Sections 5, 6 189 Section 7 190 Sections 8-10 191 Section 11 192 Sections 12, 13 193 Sections 14, 15 194 Sections 16-43 195 Section 44 196 Section 45 197 Section 46 198 Section 47 199 Section 48 200 Sections 49, 50.
