Athanas. Disquisitio,) to ascribe that document to Vincentius as its author, and to suppose that in it we have the fulfilment of the promise here referred to. If, however, the Creed was the work of Vincentius, it cannot well be the work promised at the close of \u00a7 41, for Vincentius\u2019s words point to a fuller and more explicit treatment of the subjects referred to, whereas in the Athanasian Creed, though the subjects are the same, the treatment of them is very much briefer and more concise.\nWhoever was the author however, if it was not Vincentius, he must at least, as the subjoined extracts seem to prove, have been familiar with the Commonitory, as also with St. Augustine\u2019s writings, of which, as well as of the Commonitory, the Creed bears evident traces. I subjoin the following instances of agreement between the Commonitory and the Creed: Antelmi gives several others.\nUnum Christum Jesum, non duos, eumdemque Deum pariter atque Hominem confitetur. \u00a7 36.\nEst ergo Fides recta, ut credamus et confiteamur, quia Dominus noster Jesus Christus, Dei Filius, Deus pariter et Homo est. v. 28.\nAlia est Persona Patris, alia Filii, alia Spiritus Sancti. \u00a7 37.\nAlia est Persona Patris, alia Filii, alia Spiritus Sancti. v. 5.\nUnus idemque Christus, Deus et Homo, Idem Patri et \u00e6qualis et minor, Idem ex Patre ante s\u00e6cula genitus, Idem in s\u00e6culo ex Matre generatus, perfectus Deus, perfectus Homo. \u00a7 37.\nDeus ex substantia Patris, ante s\u00e6cula genitus, Homo ex substantia Matris, in s\u00e6culo natus; perfectus Deus perfectus Homo. vv. 29, 30.\nUnus, non corruptibili nescio qua Divinitatis et Humanitatis confusione, sed integra et singulari quadam unitate Person\u00e6. \u00a7 37.\nUnus omnino, non conversione sustanti\u00e6, sed unitate Person\u00e6. v. 34.\nSicut Verbum in carne caro, ita Homo in Deo Deus est. \u00a7 40.\nUnus, non conversione Divinitatis in carne, sed Adsumptione Humanitatis in Deo. 526 v. 33.\nThis is probably the true reading.","title":"Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser.
