2.  For thus shall we raise our thoughts higher than the Jews “In Athanasius, Quæstio i. ad Antiochum, tom. II. p. 331, Monarchia is opposed to Polytheism:  ‘If we worship One God, it is manifest that we agree with the Jews in believing in a Monarchia:  but if we worship three gods, it is evident that we follow the Greeks by introducing Polytheism, instead of piously worshipping One Only God.’”  (Suicer, Thesaurus, Μοναρχία.), who admit indeed by their doctrines that there is One God, (for what if they often denied even this by their idolatries?); but that He is also the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, they admit not; being of a contrary mind to their own Prophets, who in the Divine Scriptures affirm, The Lord said unto me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten thee Ps. ii. 7..  And to this day they rage and gather themselves together against the Lord, and against His Anointed Ib. ii. 2., thinking that it is possible to be made friends of the Father apart from devotion towards the Son, being ignorant that no man cometh unto the Father but by John xiv. 6. the Son, who saith, I am the Door, and I am the Way Ib. x. 9..  He therefore that refuseth the Way which leadeth to the Father, and he that denieth the Door, how shall he be deemed worthy of entrance unto God?  They contradict also what is written in the eighty-eighth Psalm, He shall call Me, Thou art my Father, my God, and the helper of my salvation.  And I will make him my first-born, high among the kings of the earth Ps. lxxxix. 26, 27..  For if they should insist that these things are said of David or Solomon or any of their successors, let them shew how the throne of him, who is in their judgment described in the prophecy, is as the days of heaven, and as the sun before God, and as the moon established for ever vv. 29, 36, 37..  And how is it also that they are not abashed at that which is written, From the womb before the morning-star have I begotten thee Ps. cx. 3:  “From the womb of the morning thou hast the dew of thy youth” (R.V.).:  also this, He shall endure with the sun, and before the moon, from generation to generation Ps. lxxii. 5..  To refer these passages to a man is a proof of utter and extreme insensibility.
