22. I am aware that the full explanation of these words involves the discussion of many and weighty problems. I do not shirk them, but postpone them for the present, reserving their consideration for later stages of the enquiry. For the present I devote myself to that article of the blasphemers’ faith, or rather faithlessness, which asserts that Moses proclaims the solitude of God. We do not forget that the assertion is true in the sense that there is One God, from Whom are all things; but neither do we forget that this truth is no excuse for denying the Godhead of the Son, since Moses throughout the course of his writings clearly indicates the existence of God and God. We must examine how the history of God’s choice, and of the giving of the Law, proclaims God co-ordinate with God.

22. Conclusio eorum quae a num. 16 probata sunt. ---Non ignoramus autem multa et maxima ad absolutionem horum dictorum esse reliqua : sed dilata 0113B a nobis potiusquam dissimulata habentur; plenior namque eorum tractatus propositionibus caeteris reservatur. Nunc enim tantum ad id respondetur, quod in expositione fidei suae, vel potius perfidiae, ab impiis dictum est, unum tantum Deum a Moyse praedicatum. Et vere ita praedicatum meminimus, quia unus 88 Deus est ex quo omnia: sed non propterea ignorandum esse, quia Filius Deus est; cum idem Moyses Deum et Deum toto Operis sui corpore sit professus. Igitur videndum est, quomodo et electio et legislatio Deum et Deum pari confessionis ordine praedicet.
