My point is an argument from circumstantial evidence.
That argument is "caution about Morgan's views, because they are presented by his adversaries and not by his own writings which we no longer have."
See my post to Jude at #14 summarizing.
In short, when Morgan was present to explain himself no one had a problem with his views. When they were explained by Augustine, then they had problems with them.

I understand what your saying but even giving Morgan the benefit of the doubt, Augustine was held in high esteem for his doctrinal insights. I seriously doubt the early church fathers would just rubber stamp Augustine's views at the Council of Orange and brand Morgan a heretic based upon Augustine.
