The R. far<strong>the</strong>r tries to persuade his readers,<br />

that many important doctrines of religion are<br />

vei^ indistinctly taught in <strong>the</strong> <strong>scripture</strong>s. " The<br />

divinity of Christ," says he, " <strong>and</strong> his consubstantiality<br />

^ith <strong>the</strong> fa<strong>the</strong>r, is an article pf<br />

faith, <strong>and</strong> this is ro far from being distinctly<br />

taught in <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, that <strong>the</strong> Arians eluded<br />

every text of Scripture brought in proof of it..<br />

See Eusebius of Caesarea :<br />

his epistle in Theodorct,<br />

K. 2. ch. 12. in which he expounds<br />

even th.e term consubstantial in an arian sense ;<br />

that <strong>the</strong>re is but one person in Christ, <strong>the</strong><br />

Nestorians could not see in <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, nor<br />

could <strong>the</strong> Eutychians discover that in him<br />

<strong>the</strong>re are two natures,<br />

<strong>the</strong> divine <strong>and</strong> human.<br />

To come to ourselves we Catholics think<br />

transubstantiation clearly revealed in <strong>the</strong> Scripture,<br />

Protestants cannot find it <strong>the</strong>re. Lu<strong>the</strong>rans<br />

think consubstantiation 'distinctly<br />

taught, Z'.iinglians deny it.<br />

In a word, <strong>the</strong>re<br />

is no description of Christians, who dotiot find<br />

or pretend to find <strong>the</strong>ir tenets in Scripture;<br />

<strong>and</strong><br />

as <strong>the</strong>ir tenets are in general contradictory,<br />

even those which are<br />

founded in truth cannot<br />
