A Vindication of
nom Epread by some ac trst within the
Communion ot it; a5it Wwas not only in
the Case ot Noetus and Bervilus, Dut Ot Sa-
bellius himselt, who made the greatest
noile about this Doctrine; and his Disci-
ples, Epiphanius tellsus, spread very much
both in the Fastern and W’estern parts; in
Melopotamia and at Rome. Their Do-
etrine, he Caith, was, that Father, Son and
TToly Ghost ivere but one TCypostasis, with
three different Denominations. They com-
pared God co the Sun, the F’ather 10 the
Substance, the Son tothe Licht, and the TTo-
Wy Ghost to the Fleat Which comes from it:
andthele tro latter ivere onty distinct O.
perations of the same Substance.
Epiphanius thinks thac Sabellius therein
ditterd trom Noetus, hecause he denied that
the Father sufferd; bur S. ducustin can
find no diflerence betveen them. AI
that can be conceived is, that a ditterent
Denomination did arise trom che diflerent
appearance and Operation; Which our 2.
nitarians call three Relative Persons, and
scourseos one Subsistine Person.
Sabellius did spread his Herelie most in
nit. V. 1d. is ovn Connery; utuich Wvas in Penta-
polis of the Crrenaick Province, beins born
in Prolemais onc ot che tive Cities chere.
