Note 444 — SERMON V.[436]
Reading edition
In days of unbelief, one is tempted to add a note even on a Theological truism like that in the text,—"Esto igitur, inquies; fuerit Deus, qui in Veteri Testamento, sive per Angelum, sive sub angelicâ repræsentatione sanctis viris apparuit et locutus est; at quâ demum ratione adducti crediderunt doctores, fuisse Dei Filium? Respondeo: Ratione, ni fallor, optimâ, quam ex traditione Apostolicâ edidicerant."—Def. Fid. Nicæn. i. i. 12. Bp. Bull's Works, vol. v. i. p. 27.
