Excerpt from The Answer of the Earl of Nottingham to Mr. Whiston's Letter to Him: Concerning the Eternity of the Son of God, and of the Holy Ghost

A made God, as you-liile him from Origen, or an only 65mm soil, from Enfehiur, in the Sonic which you give it maf. The {mutt treated, may become the Heathen Mythology and The ogony, tho' the wild! Even.of.thein contemned it: And is it to be tranfplanted into Chriflramty?

What you uore out of Epiphanlw, (if Origen's Opi 'l'hews plainly, t at he thought it very abfurd perhaps impi Ous For, fays he when Origen [a]: the Son is a made God, he plainly determines, that he is but 4 created Being and this ggphanius jqflly cenfnrer, by caning it a bold Attempt upon I do not pretend that all Diggen's Opinions can be defended, e was a great Platonifi an as they were fome of the lira Who embraced Chriflianity, (0 they were alfo fome of the fair Wardell to corrupt the Simplicity of it, by grafting into it fame of their Notions. But in this Particular before us, tho' Epiphanias, who wrote above a Hundred Years after the Death of Origen, charges him with this Opinion yet pamphilnr, who liv'd in or near the Time of Origen, and more an Apology for him, declares Origen's Sentiments of the Trinity as Orthodox, and in Terms as lain, as afterwards the Nicene Council and Athanajinr himfell) exprefs'd the Doctrine which we now pro fefs; and if the Writings of Origen were corrupted even in his Epifl. Ad own Time, as he himfelf complains they were, they might be Char. In much more (0 after his Death. And Pamphilur, who was him Alexan Martyr, may juilly be prefum'd to flare truly, as well dria, 'ana as to know better, what the Opinions of Origen were, than nex'd to Epiphanias, for the Realm I have mention'd. Befidcs, if thofe Pamphi Trafis of Origen, which, by your quotations out of them, you lus'r Apa acknowledge to be genuine, d'o furnilh me with Pafiages plainly logy, 78 9. And clearly esrpreifrng the Dottrine of the Trinity and if your Quorations out of him to fupport the contrary, do nor amount to it,' or are not fairly and truly reprefented by you as I hope to lhew, then I may conclude that Origen's Opinion is more truly llatcd by Pamphilius than by Epiphanim and that you have vqry' ill fupported Epiphaninr's Charge againll him.
