XXII.  Only let us cut ourselves off from passion, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble us; Heb. xii. 15. only let us follow the image; only let us reverence our Archetype.  Cut off the bodily passions; cut off also the spiritual.  For by how much the soul is more precious than the body, by so much more precious is it to cleanse the soul than the body.  And if cleansing of the body be a praiseworthy act, see, I pray you, how much greater and higher is that of the soul.  Cut away the Arian impiety; cut away the false opinion of Sabellius; do not join more than is right, or wrongly sever; do not either confuse the Three Persons into One, or make Three diversities of Nature.  The One is praiseworthy if rightly understood; and the Three when rightly divided, when the division is of Persons, not of Godhead.
