Thesis 7a>40

Latin

Quae opinio uerior de trinitate: Arn, Sabellii, Eucliph, aut fidei catholicae.

Copy-text: Farmer 1998, line 24263

The copy-text's OCR gives 'Arn' and 'Eucliph' for the genitive forms of the names; the precise correct Latin spellings are not established by the sources consulted. Farmer's note identifies the three referents as Arius, Sabellius, and Wyclif (farmer1998:24293), and the translation follows that identification.

English

Which view of the Trinity is closer to the truth: that of Arius, that of Sabellius, that of Wyclif, or that of the catholic faith?

Sense checked against Farmer's English at farmer1998:24319; the three names are supplied from Farmer's identification (farmer1998:24293) since the Latin surnames are corrupted in the copy-text; phrasing varies Farmer's 'What opinion is truer concerning the Trinity'.
