[84] The French is “une mechante Proserpine nommée Irene;”–a wicked Proserpine named Irene.
[85] The French adds, “et qu’il ne se soit trouvé gens qui leur crachassent au visage;”–and that people were not found to spit in their face.

CHAPTER 12. GOD DISTINGUISHED FROM IDOLS, THAT HE MAY BE THE EXCLUSIVE OBJECT OF WORSHIP.
[87] Cic. De Nat. Deor. lib. 2 c. 28. See also Lactant. Inst. Div. lib. 4 c. 28.
[88] The French adds, “Et ne faisons point cela témérairement, mais selon sa parole.”–And let us not do this rashly, but in accordance with his Word.
[89] Calvin translates interrogatively, “Do ye believe in God?”
[90] The French adds, “à ce qu’elle ne fust point aneantie incontinent; “–so as to prevent its being instantly annihilated.
[91] The French adds, “Sainct Paul n’eust jamais ainsi parlé, s’il n’eust cognu la vraie Divinté du Sainct Esprit”–St Paul would never have so spoken, if he had not known the divinity of the Holy Spirit.
[92] The French entirely omits the three previous sentences, beginning, “Then, as,” &c.
[93] Bernard, De Consider. lib. 5 “Cum dico unum, non me trinitatis turbat numerus, qui essentiam non multiplicat, non variat, nec partitur. Rursum, quum, dico tria, non me arguit intuitus unitatis, quia illa quæcunque tria, seu illos tres, nec in confusionem cogit, nec in singularitatem redigit. “–See also Bernard, Serm. 71 in Cantica.
[94] August. Homil. De Temp. 38, De Trinitate. See also Ad Pascentium Epist. 174 Cyrill. De Trinit. lib. 7; Idem, lib. 3 Dialog.; Aug. in Psal 59; et Tract. in Joann 89; Idem, in Psal. 68.

[98] See Bernard, Serm. 80, super Cantica., on the heresy of Gilbert, Bishop of Poiotiers.
[99] The French is expressed somewhat differently, “veu que l’Apostre en l’allegant de Christ, lui attribue tout ce quí est de Dieu;”–seeing the Apostle, by applying it to Christ, attributes to him everything belonging to God.
[100] The French adds, “Comme trois ruissuaux;”–like three streams.
[101] The French adds, “Comme si l’essense étoit au lieu de la personne du Pére;”–as if the essence were in place of the person of the Father.
[102] The French is somewhat differently expressed: “Car le Fils a quelque l’estre, ou il n’en a point. S’il en a, voila deux essences pour jouster l’un contre autre; s’il n’en a point, ce ne seroit qu’une ombre.” For the Son has some being, or he has none. If some, here are two essences to tilt with each other; if none, he is only a shadow.
[103] Tertullianus, lib. adv. Praxeam;–Perversitas hæ (Praxeæ scil.) se existimat meram veritatem possidere, dum unicum Deum non alias putat credendum, quam si ipsum eundemque et Patrem et Filium et Spiritum sanctum dicat: quasi non sic quoque unas sit omnia, dum ex uno omnia, per substantæ scilicet unitatem, et nihilominus custodiatur oi0konomi/aj sacramentum, quæ unitatem in trinitatem disponit, tres dirigens, Patrem, Filium, et Spiritum sanctum. Tres autem non statu, ded gradu: nec substantia, sed forma: nec potestate, sed specie: unius autem substantiæ, et unius status, et unius potestatis: quia unus Deus, ex quo et gradus isti, formaæ et species, in nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spriitus sancti deputantur. Quomodo numerum sine divisione patiuntur, procedentes tractatus demonstrabunt,:&c.
[104] Athanasuis expresses himself thus learnedly and piously:–”On this subject, though you cannot explain yourself, you are not therefore to distrust the Holy Scriptures. It is better, while hesitating through ignorance, to be silent and believe, than not to believe because you hesitate”
