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.’
Palladius said; ‘Say what you please; His Godhead is immortal.’
Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Whose? the Father’s or the Son’s?’ And he added: ‘Arius heaped together many impieties. But let us pass to other points.’
27. Then was recited; “Alone wise.”
Palladius said; ‘The Father is wise of himself, but the Son is not wise.’
Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Is then the Son not wise, when He Himself is Wisdom? For we also say that the Son is begotten of the Father.’
