It is great violence, to force an ancient Father, to bear false witness, and specially against him self. This report of S. Basiles meaning is as true, as is that long peevish Fable, so often alleged under the name of Amphilochius, that is to wite, a vain Show without Substance. And because M. Harding only nameth Damascene, and Paulus Burgensis in his Margin, as being afraid to touch their words,1 he may remember, that Damascene saith, Non aliud est ignis, quàm lux, ut quidam aiunt. The Fire is nothing else, but the light, as some men say. And Burgensis saith,2 Quidam tradunt lucem fuisse nubem lucidam: Some men write, that the light was a Bright Cloud. By these expositions it appeareth, that either the Fire, or the Cloud, was a Subject to receive the light. Certainly neither Burgensis, nor Damascene, nor Basil ever said, that the light stood without a Subject. Therefore that note in the Margin might well have been spared. But it is an easy matter, with show of names to deceive the simple.
