IX. Errors.
We condemn therefore, the Valentinians, Marcionites, Manichees, and whosoever either taught or left any thing in writing against this article of faith: feigning either that all ⟨p. 26⟩things were made of some other god, then the father of Christ, or that good things were made of one God which was good, and evil things, of another which was evil: sith none can be god, but he which is chiefly good, and only maker of all things. We condemn likewise, all those which either teach that the soul of man is of the substance of God: or which deny the immortality and perpetual action of the same: or which refer the image of God in man, only to his power and rule over creatures; or lastly which do deny that man was created merely free.
