AGAINST THE CHRISTIANS. 63 After this, says Cyril, Julian having said a little about John the Baptist, returns to the word which was proclaimed by John the Evangelist. And _ “the word,” says he, “was made flesh, and dwelt among us,” (John i.) ; but he was ashamed to say how. He, likewise, never calls him either Jesus or Christ, while he calls him God and the word. But gradually and fraudulently as it were deceiving our ears, he says that John the Baptist gave this testimony of Jesus Christ, viz. that it 1s requisite to believe him to be God the word. I will not, however, deny that John says this of Jesus Christ; though it appears to some of the impious among you, that Jesus Christ is one person, and the word proclaimed by John another. But this is not the case. For he whom he says is God the word, is the Christ Jesus that was known by John the Baptist. Consider, therefore, how cautiously, gradually, and privately he intro- duces the colophon of impiety to the drama’; for he is so crafty and fraudulent, that he again retracts what he had said, adding, “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten son which is in the bosom of the father, he hath declared him.” COIN G HOO) SS (CO mn
