Introductory Notice to Novatian, a Roman Presbyter.

[5036] In other words, God is always the same in essence, in personality, and in attributes.

[5037] Mal. iii. 6.

[5038] Ex. iii. 14. [The ineffable name of the Self-Existent.]

Chapter VI. Argument.—And That, Although Scripture Often Changes the Divine Appearance into a Human Form, Yet the Measure of the Divine Majesty is Not Included Within These Lineaments of Our Bodily Nature.

[5039] Ps. xxxiv. 15. [Anthropopathy, p. 611.]

[5040] Gen. viii. 21.

[5041] Ex. xxxi. 18.

[5042] Ps. cxxxvi. 12.

[5050] That is to say, “of Birth and dissolution.” [He is the Now.]

Chapter VII. Argument.—Moreover, that When God is Called a Spirit, Brightness, and Light, God is Not Sufficiently Expressed by Those Appellations.

[5051] 1 Cor. ii. 9.

[5052] [Ex. iii. 2. Not consuming. Heb. xii. 29, “consuming.”]

Chapter VIII. Argument.—It is This God, Therefore, that the Church Has Known and Adores; And to Him the Testimony of Things as Well Visible as Invisible is Given Both at All Times and in All Forms, by the Nature Which His Providence Rules and Governs.

[5053] [Madame de Staël has beautifully remarked on the benefit conferred upon humanity by Him who authorized us to say,“ Our Father.” “Scientific” atheism gives nothing instead.]
