[208] From a Sermon by the Rev. F. Woodward, quoted below, at p.

249.--In ill.u.s.tration of the learned writer's concluding remark, take this from the Creed of Lyons, contained in Irenaeus (A.D. 180),--?a? e??

??e?se??. In the Creed of Constantinople, we read, ?? ??e?a t? ?????

[209] The Creed of Lyons begins by describing itself as that which ?

[212] _Answer._ He certainly does not employ _the identical language_ of the Nicene Council, or of the (so called) Athanasian Creed. But what then?

[213] _Ans._ Pa.s.sages of the Epistles "distributed in alternate clauses between our Lord's Humanity and Divinity," begging Mr. Jowett's pardon, is nonsense. But _no_ pa.s.sage in St. Paul's Epistles which relates to the Humanity, or to the Divinity of CHRIST, could be said to "lose its meaning" by being unlocked by its own proper clue: or, if the statement be complex, by being distributed under two heads.
