Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Do you say that Christ is a good God?’
Palladius said; ‘I do not answer you.’
Valerian, Bishop, said; ‘Do not press Palladius so much: he cannot confess our truths with simplicity. For his conscience is confused with a twofold blasphemy: he was ordained by the Photinians and was condemned with them, and now he shall be condemned more fully.’
Palladius said; ‘Prove it.’
Sabinus, Bishop, said; ‘He would not have denied that Christ is true if he were not following his own teachers.’
50. AMBROSE, Bishop, said; ‘You have objected to me that I am impious: prove it.’
Palladius said; ‘We will bring forward our statement, and when we have brought it, then the discussion shall be held.’
Ambrose, Bishop, said; ‘Condemn the impiety of Arius.’
Palladius being silent,
Eusebius, Bishop, said; ‘He dwells upon useless subjects. There are so many impieties of Arius, which Palladius has not chosen to condemn, nay rather has confessed by supporting. He who does not condemn Arius is like him, and is rightly to be called a heretic.’
