IX.  This being so, if any be on the Lord’s side let him come with us,12    Exod. xxxii. 26. and let us adore the One Godhead in the Three; not ascribing any name of humiliation to the unapproachable Glory, but having the exaltations of the Triune God continually in our mouth.13    Ps. cxlix. 6.  For since we cannot properly describe even the greatness of Its Nature, on account of Its infinity and undefinableness, how can we assert of It humiliation?  But if any one be estranged from God, and therefore divideth the One Supreme Substance into an inequality of Natures, it were marvellous if such an one were not cut in sunder by the sword, and his portion appointed with the unbelievers,14    Luke xii. 46. reaping any evil fruit of his evil thought both now and hereafter.

Θʹ. Τούτων δὲ οὕτως ἐχόντων, ὅτῳ μὲν ἡ καρδία πρὸς Κύριον, ἴτω μεθ' ἡμῶν, καὶ προσκυνῶμεν τὴν μίαν ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ θεότητα, μηδὲν ταπεινότητος ὄνομα τῇ ἀπροσίτῳ δόξῃ προσάγοντες, ἀλλὰ τὰς ὑψώσεις τοῦ ἑνὸς Θεοῦ ἐν τοῖς τρισὶ διαπαντὸς ἐν τῷ λάρυγγι φέροντες. Ἧς γὰρ οὐδὲ μέγεθος φύσεως κυρίως ἔστιν εἰπεῖν, διὰ τὸ ἄπειρον καὶ ἀόριστον, πῶς ταύτῃ ταπεινότητα ἐπεισάξομεν; Ὅστις δὲ ἀλλοτρίως ἔχει Θεοῦ, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο τέμνει τὴν μίαν καὶ ὑπὲρ πάντα τὰ ὄντα οὐσίαν εἰς ἀνισότητα φύσεων, θαυμαστὸν, εἰ μὴ τῇ ῥομφαίᾳ τμηθήσεται, καὶ τὸ μέρος αὐτοῦ μετὰ τῶν ἀπίστων τεθήσεται, πονηρὸν δρεπομένου πονηρᾶς δόξης καρπὸν, καὶ νῦν καὶ ὕστερον.
