61. Yet I would still enquire what it
is that the Son cannot do, unless He see the Father doing it. I
will take the fool’s line, and propound some examples drawn from
things of a lower world. “I am become a fool; ye have
compelled me.” 2 Cor. xii. 11. What
indeed is more foolish than to debate over the majesty of God, which
rather occasions questionings, than godly instruction which is in
faith. 1 Tim. i. 4; vi. 20, 21. But to
arguments let arguments
reply; let words make answer to them, but love to us, the love which is
in God, issuing of a pure heart and good conscience and faith
unfeigned. And so I stickle not to introduce even the ludicrous
for the confutation of so vain a thesis.
