Palladius said; ‘Christ is a name of the flesh: Christ is a man’s name: do you answer me.’ Eusebius, Bishop, said; ‘Why do you dwell upon useless topics? When Arius’ impious words were read, who says of the Father that He alone hath immortality, you cited a testimony in confirmation of Arius’ impiety, quoting from the Apostle, _Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto_. But if you understand it, he has expressed by the Name of God the dignity of the whole Nature, inasmuch as in the Name of God, both Father and Son are signified.’ Palladius said; ‘You also have not chosen to answer what I have asked.’ 24. AMBROSE, Bishop, said; ‘I ask you to give your opinion plainly, has the Son of God immortality according to His divine generation, or has He not?’ Palladius said; ‘In respect of His divine generation He is incorruptible; and by means of His Incarnation He died.’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘His divinity died not, but His flesh died.’ Palladius said; ‘Do you answer me first.’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Has the Son of God immortality in respect of His Godhead or has He it not? But have you not even now betrayed your fraudulent and insidious meaning according to Arius’ profession?’ and he added; ‘He who denies that the Son of God has immortality, what think you of him?’ All the Bishops said; ‘Let him be accounted anathema.’ 25. PALLADIUS said; ‘A divine offspring is immortal.’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘This also have you said evasively, to avoid expressing anything clearly about the Son of God. I say to you, the Son hath immortality in respect of His Godhead, or do you deny it and say that He has not.’ Palladius said; ‘Did Christ die or not?’ Sidenote: S. Matt. x. 28. Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘In respect of the flesh He did: our soul does not die: for it is written, _Fear not them who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul_; seeing then that our soul cannot die, do you think Christ died in respect of His Godhead?’ Palladius said; ‘Why do you shrink from the name of death?’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Nay, I do not shrink from it, but I confess it in respect of my flesh: for there is One by Whom I am released from the chains of death.’ Palladius said; ‘Death is caused by separation of the spirit (from the flesh), for Christ the Son of God took upon Him flesh, and by means of flesh he died.’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘It is written that Christ suffered: He suffered then in respect of His flesh: in respect of His Godhead He has immortality. He who denies this, is a devil.’ Palladius said; ‘I know not Arius.’ 26. AMBROSE, Bishop, said; ‘Then Arius said ill, since the Son of God also has immortality in respect of his Godhead.’ And he added, ‘Did he then say well or ill?’ Palladius said; ‘I do not agree.’ Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘With whom do not you agree? Anathema to him, who does not frankly unfold his faith.’ All the Bishops said; ‘Anathema.’
