But you confessing in words Christ to be God, in denying him to be God of himself, take his divinity from him indeed For God is of himself God, by property of his own nature and substance: which in denying, you are proceeded as far, and somewhat farther, then the wicked Archheretic Arius. I could turn you over to your own schoolmen, and bid you to strive against them,1 letting Calvin alone. Look upon William Ockam a famous schoolman, who was not afraid to publish this position amongst his hundred divinity conclusions, That Christ according to his divine being is not the Son of God: which how he expoundeth, there may you see: but if Calvin had written in such terms, who could have stayed the outrageous cavilling of these men?2
