“And in one Lord Jesus Christ, His
Only-begotten Son, God through whom are all things, who was begotten of
the Father, God of God, whole God of whole God, One of One, perfect God
of perfect God, King of King, Lord of Lord, the Word, the Wisdom, the
Life, true Light, true Way, the Resurrection, the Shepherd, the Gate,

and glory of the Godhead, the first-born of all creation, who always
was in the beginning with God, the Word of God, according to what is
said in the Gospel, and the Word was God, through whom all
things were made, and in whom all things subsist, who in the last days
came down from above, and was born of a virgin according to the

Hilary’s mistake for Man. He doubtless read the
original in a Greek manuscript which had the word ἄνθρωπον written in its

prædestinatus, for which word it seems impossible to
account., the Mediator
between God and man, the Apostle of our faith, and leader of
life. For He said, I came down from heaven, not to do Mine own
will, but the will of Him that sent me John vi. 28.. Who suffered and rose again for us
on the third day, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right
hand of the Father, and is to come again with glory to judge the quick
and the dead.
