Hilary of Arles, Bp. 429-449. Victricius of Rouen. Vincentius of Lerins, 434. {125} These arguments apply, however, not to the Creed as it now stands, but to the documents from which it was compounded, and to the language which it has retained. This Psalm, or Creed, or discussion of the Creeds, appears to be formed by the union of two documents, one of which was a discussion of the nature of God, and the other a discussion of the Person of Christ. An article by Professor Lumby in the S.P.C.K. Prayer Book will be accessible to all our readers. The former document occupies 28, and the latter, 14 verses. The doctrine that there is a God, and particularly that there is but one God, may be called the Catholic Religion, in a very wide sense: for it is held by Jews, Turks, and many others who are not Christians. The Christian Verity is the Truth that God was made man, that Jesus is God and Man, yet not two, but one Christ. This involves the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity. The Catholic Faith includes both the Catholic Religion and the Christian Verity. _vv._ 9 and 12: the word _incomprehensible_ is the Latin word _immensus_, elsewhere rendered _infinite_. (See Article I.) _vv._ 21-23 show that there are statements which can be made of each Person, which cannot be made of the other Persons of the Godhead: 6-18 have been showing that there are statements which can be made of each Person, which can also be made of the other Persons--statements involving Godhead. 24-27 state the inference which is to be drawn from the former verses, an inference previously stated in 3-5. {126} _v._ 31. The word Substance occurs frequently in the discussion of the Godhead of our Lord, and also in the debates about the Holy Communion. Substance is the Essential Existence: it has no necessary connection with ideas like 'hard' and 'soft,' 'heavy' and 'light'; if we are thinking of a spirit there is no question of Matter, for the Substance, i.e. the Essential Being, of a spirit is not of the nature of Matter. The phrase in the Nicene Creed _Being-of-one-substance-with_ (_the Father_) is a translation of the word Consubstantial. The name _Quicunque Vult_, by which this psalm is sometimes mentioned is from the first words of the Latin original _Quicunque vult salvus esse_=Whosoever will be safe. This phrase "be safe" occurs again in verse 28, and again in the last verse of the psalm, where _quam nisi--salvus esse non poterit_ should be translated _which except a man have believed faithfully and firmly, he cannot be safe_. The substitution of another idea--"be saved,"--is of the nature of an addition to the meaning. The addition is, however, independently stated in verse 2.
