quire,--Unless that additional phrase be simply redundant, what can it
possibly signify? Consider, then, whether those who have been partakers of
_His_ nature who revealed Himself to Moses by the Name of I AM, may not,
in consequence of such union with Him, be designated as 'those _which
are_:' persons, called out, of a state of _not_-being, so to speak, into a
state of _being_."(163)--If Origen had read {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PERISPOMENI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA WITH DASIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER GAMMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA WITH PERISPOMENI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER FINAL SIGMA~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON WITH PSILI AND PERISPOMENI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH YPOGEGRAMMENI~}
in his copy, it is to me incredible that he would have gone so very far
out of his way to miss the sense of such a plain, and in fact,
unmistakable an expression. Bishop Middleton, and Michaelis before
him,--_reasoning however only from the place in Basil,_ (to be quoted
immediately,)--are unwilling to allow that the words {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER PHI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH OXIA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMEGA WITH YPOGEGRAMMENI~} were ever
away from the text. It must be admitted as the obvious inference from what
Jerome has delivered on this subject (_infra_, p. 98 _note_) that he, too,
seems to know nothing of the reading (if reading it can be called) of
Codd. B and {~HEBREW LETTER ALEF~}.

(3) The influence which Origen's writings exercised over his own and the
immediately succeeding ages of the Church, was prodigious. Basil, bishop
of Caesarea in Cappadocia, writing against the heresy of Eunomius about 150
years later,--although he read {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON WITH PSILI~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~} {~GREEK CAPITAL LETTER
