Since we have discarded the godless; come also our own: syllogistic proof that there is one God; and that the Word is consubstantial to himself and with the Spirit together, a declaration, but not from the Spirit: you know that thing changed?

When our effort is toward one of those who follow Greek ways, it would be well to make this the beginning of the discourse; whether the divine is to be supposed, or to be carried along with the dogmas of the anti-Gods. If, therefore, he might say that it does not exist, he will be led from the things managed technically and wisely according to the world, to admit that through these there is some power, the one extending through these; and exceeding the whole. But if he does not doubt the existence; but is carried in his suppositions into a multitude of gods, we will use such an sequence toward him: whether he considers the divine perfect, or lacking. And since by likelihood he ascribes perfection to the nature, we will demand perfection through all things that are attributed to the divinity; so that the divine might not be seen as a mixture of opposites; from lacking and perfect. This being granted, it is no longer difficult by likelihood, to bring the scattered mind from a multitude of gods to the confession of one divinity; for if the perfect is admitted in everything that is about the subject, and he says that there are many perfect things, characterized by the same things, it is of all necessity, upon things not distinguished by any variation, or seen in all the same things, either to show the specific, or the thought grasps nothing specifically; and in those where there is no distinction, not to suppose the distinction. For if he might not discover the difference by the more and the less; because the logic of perfection does not admit the lessening; nor by the worse and the more preferred; for he would no longer hold the supposition of divinity, where the worse is not part of the designation; nor according to the ancient and the recent; for to whom there is nothing else, is outside the supposition about the divine; but the same logic of divinity; no quality, in no one
