is proper to created things and is one of them. And with these things, having become as it were a successor of the devil’s rashness, he has put in his *Thalia*, that the Father is invisible even to the Son, and that the Word can neither see nor know His own Father perfectly and accurately; but what He knows and what He sees, He knows and sees in proportion to His own measure, just as we also know according to our own capacity. For the Son, he says, not only does not know the Father accurately, for He is lacking in being able to comprehend Him; but the Son Himself does not even know His own substance; and that the substances of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit are divided in nature, and estranged and separated, and alien, and without participation in each other, and, as he himself has uttered, they are altogether unlike each other in both their substances and glories to an infinite degree. At least, he says the Word is utterly alien in resemblance of glory and substance from both the Father and the Holy Spirit; for with these words the impious man has spoken; and he has said that the Son is divided in Himself, and has no participation in the Father in any respect.” These are parts of the fables of Arius that lie in his ridiculous writing. Who then, having heard such things and the melody of the *Thalia*, would not rightly hate Arius for jesting about such matters as if on a stage? Who does not see him, through his pretense of naming God and speaking about God, to be like the serpent advising the woman? And who, reading what follows, does not see his impiety, just like the subsequent deceit of the serpent, into which he led the woman by his sophistry? Who is not astounded at such blasphemies? The heaven indeed, as the prophet says, was astonished, and the earth shuddered at the transgression of the law; and the sun, being more indignant, and not bearing then the bodily outrages that were committed against the common Master of us all, which He Himself willingly endured for 26.25 us, turned away, and drawing in its rays, showed that day to be sunless; but at the blasphemies of Arius, how will not all of human nature be struck with speechlessness, and will it not close its ears, and shut its eyes, so that it may be able neither to hear such things, nor to see the one who wrote them? And how will not the Lord Himself rather cry out justly against them, as impious and also ungrateful, the things which He also foretold through the prophet Hosea, “Woe to them, for they have fled from me; they are wretched, because they have acted impiously against me. But I redeemed them; yet they have spoken lies against me.” And a little after: “And they devised evil things against me, they have turned away to nothing.” For having turned away from the existing Word of God, and having fashioned for themselves the one who does not exist, they have fallen into nothingness. For this reason also the ecumenical council cast Arius, for saying these things, out of the Church, and anathematized him, not bearing his impiety; and from then on the error of Arius was considered a heresy, having something more than other heresies, in that it was also called Christ-fighting, and was considered a forerunner of the Antichrist. If therefore, as I said before, such a great judgment against the impious heresy is sufficient to persuade all to flee from it; nevertheless, since some of those who are called Christians, either being ignorant, or pretending, as was said before, consider the heresy indifferent to the truth, and call those who think these things Christians, come let us, questioning them according to our ability, uncover the villainy of the heresy. Perhaps even so, being entangled, they might be silenced and flee from it as from the face of a serpent. If then, because he wrote some words of divine Scripture in his *Thalia*, they think that the blasphemies are also praises, then surely, seeing the Jews of today reading the Law and the Prophets, they themselves will also for this reason deny Christ with them; and hearing perhaps also the Manichaeans
