34. But who can with a good conscience deny
the one Godhead of the Father and the Son, when our Lord, to complete
His teaching for His disciples, said: “That they may be
one, even as we also are one.” S. John xvii. 11. The
record stands for witness to the Faith, though Arians turn it aside to
suit their heresy; for, inasmuch as they cannot deny the Unity so often
spoken of, they endeavour to diminish it, in order that the Unity of
Godhead subsisting between the Father and the Son may seem to be such
as is unity of devotion and faith amongst men, though even amongst men
themselves community of nature makes unity thereof.
