Palladius said; ‘He is the very Son of God.’
Eusebius, Bishop, said; ‘We also are by adoption sons; He is Son according to the property of His Divine Generation.’ And he added; ‘Do you confess that the very Son of God is very Lord by His Birth and essentially?’
Palladius said; ‘I call Him the very Son of God, only-begotten.’
Eusebius, Bishop, said; ‘Do you then think it is against the Scriptures, for Christ to be called very God?’
20. PALLADIUS being silent, Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘He who says only that He is the very Son of God, and will not say that He is very Lord, appears to deny it. Let Palladius then, if he does confess it, confess it in this order, and let him say whether he calls the Son of God very Lord.’
Palladius said; ‘When the Son says, S. John xvii. 3. That they might know Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ Whom Thou hast sent, is it by way of feeling only, or in truth?’
