By this means Eutyches, who seemed to be deserving of honour under the title of Presbyter, is now shown to be exceedingly thoughtless and sadly inexperienced. . . If, then, he knew not what he ought to think about the incarnation of the Word of God, and was not willing for the sake of obtaining the light of intelligence, to make laborious search through the whole extent of the Holy Scriptures, he should at least have received with heedful attention that general Confession common to all, whereby the whole body of the faithful profess that “they believe in God the Father Almighty, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was born of the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary.” By which three clauses the engines of almost all heretics are shattered.
