. Works of the Right Reverend George Bull, ... : concerning the Holy Trinity . n Affertion was true, thatthere was a time, when God the Father exifted withoutthe Word, or Son of God.

This alfo Irencem very clearly teaches, whiift herebukes the Valentinians, for tranflating the Pronounciationof the Word of Man to the eternal Word of God, allow-ing him only fuch a Proceffion and Nativity, as their ownWord, which hath a beginning. This he contends isabfurd, if the Word be God. If then he had attributedto the Word a beginning of Exiftence, or had denied hisEternity, the Charge would have fallen back upon him-felf, a Refledion we ftiould not make upon the CHAP. the NiCENE Faith.
