Note 410 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Eusebius observes, in his Epistle respecting the Nicene Creed, that he and his friends did not refuse to adopt the word ὁμοούσιος, "peace being the end in view, as well as the not falling away from sound doctrine." He excused the damnatory clause, simply on the ground that it aggrieved none by prohibiting the use of unscriptural phraseology.—Socrates' Ecc. Hist., b. i. c. 8.
