62. You perceive that the truth has been sought by
many paths through the advice and opinions of different bishops, and
the ground of their views has been set forth by the separate
declarations inscribed in this creed. Every separate point of
heretical assertion has been successfully refuted. The infinite
and boundless God cannot be made comprehensible by a few words of human
speech. Brevity often misleads both learner and teacher, and a
concentrated discourse either causes a subject not to be understood, or
spoils the meaning of an argument where a thing is hinted at, and is
not proved by full demonstration. The bishops fully understood
this, and therefore have used for the purpose of teaching many
definitions and a profusion of words that the ordinary understanding
might find no difficulty, but that their hearers might be saturated
with the truth thus differently expressed, and that in treating of
divine things these adequate and manifold definitions might leave no
room for danger or obscurity.
