229. Even Satan transforms himself into an
angel of light; 2 Cor. xi. 14. what wonder
then if Arius imitates his Author in taking upon himself what is
forbidden? Though his father the devil did it not in his own
case, that man with intolerable blasphemy assumes to himself the
knowledge of divine secrets and the mysteries of the heavenly
Generation. For the devil confessed the true Son of God, Arius
denies Him.
