The text is very corrupt here, but the meaning seems to be that, while we have the authority of the Bible to speak of God, if we do not attach its full meaning to the word (e.g. Psalm lxxxii. 6, “I have said, ‘Ye are Gods,’”), yet if we use the name in its proper significance it is blasphemous to call Christ God. The reading of the earlier editions and some mss., ‘duos dici irreligiosum est, et Deum non intelligi,’ is probably a gloss to soften the difficulty.
