    \ •( ) ^8* CONFESSION OF FAITH.] While no one can agree, while they Anathema¬ tize one another, there is fcarce any that flicksclofe 10 Jefus Chrift. What Change was there in the Confeffion of Faith but l&ft Year ? The Firft Synod of the Ari- cene Council ordains that nothing fho Jd be faid concerning the Homoujiex ^ the Second orders and ordains jhat they ihould fneak of it *, the Third exc As the Fathers of the Council, and pretends that they took the Word Oufta limply *, laftly, the Fourth, in!read of excufing, condemns Am. As to the Refemblance of the Son with his Father, which is the Confeffion of Faith of thefe unhappy Times, they difpute whether he is like in the Whole, or only tn Part. Behold what Fine Inquirers thefe are into the Se¬ crets of Heaven ! In the mean while, it is upon the Account of thefe Confef- fions of Faith about the invifible Myfte- ries, and about our Faith in God, that we thus Calumniate one another. We make Confeffions every Year, andalfo every Month * we Repent of what we have done, we Defend thofe that Repent of Am, and afterwards Anathematize thofe we have defended : So we Con¬ demn either the Opinions of gthers in our feh7es, or our own Opinions in o- thers and in thus Tearing one another to Pieces, we have been the Caufe of each others Ruin.
