With equal ability they shewed the contradictions, nay, the absurdities, involved in the rejection of the same by a professed Christian.

They demonstrated the utterly un-Scriptural and contra-Scriptural nature of Arianism, and Sabellianism, and Socinianism.
But the self-evidence of the great Truth, as a universal of the reason,--as the reason itself--as a light which revealed itself by its own essence as light--this they had not had vouchsafed to them.

The pretence is, that we equivocate in talking of eternal generation.
All generation is necessarily [Greek: anarchon ti], without dividuous beginning, and herein contradistinguished from creation.

226.
True, it is not the same with human generation.
Not the same 'eodem modo', certainly; but it is so essentially the same that the generation of the Son of God is the transcendent, which gives to human generation its right to be so called.

It is in the most proper, that is, the fontal, sense of the term, generation.
Ib.
You have not proved that all generation implies beginning; and what is more, cannot.
It would be difficult to disprove the contrary.
