Against Eunomius. (HTML)
Book II (HTML)
Lastly he displays at length the folly of Eunomius, who at times speaks of the Holy Spirit as created, and as the fairest work of the Son, and at other times confesses, by the operations attributed to Him, that He is God, and thus ends the book. (HTML)
... speaking, “Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who comforteth us in all our tribulation.” Again, the Psalmist says, speaking in the person of God, “Thou calledst upon Me in trouble and I delivered thee.” And the setting upright of those who stumble is innumerable times ascribed by Scripture to the power of the Lord: “Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall, but the Lord was my help,” and “Though he fall, he shall not be cast away, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand[Psalms 37:24],” and “The Lord helpeth them that are fallen.” And to the loving-kindness of God confessedly belongs the recovery of the distressed, if Eunomius means the same thing of which we learn in prophecy, as the Scripture says, “Thou laidest trouble upon ...

CCEL Footnote 1107 (In-Text, Margin)
