Annotation CXLIV, The author of the commentary on Job which is falsely attributed to Origen thought wrongly concerning the Trinity (Job 38:29)

“Out of whose womb came the ice? and the frost from heaven who hath begotten it?”

Annotatio CXLIV

”Out of whose womb came the ice? and the frost from heaven who hath begotten it?” — Job 38:29

The explanation falsely inscribed under Origen’s name, expounding this sentence (under pretense of elucidating it), seems to censure the Homoousians1 — that is, those who believe the Son consubstantial with the Father — in very ambiguous and obscure words, saying: “Read these things thou, with judgment, among the Homousiasts,” etc.: read, and weigh what it means.
