**constabiation” **

actually the word in the Nicene Creed is

consubstantial.

Sorry about my earlier mistake.

"consubstantialem Patri" = "consubstantial with the Father"

Or, if you prefer Cranmer, "being of one substance with the Father."

In that case, Cranmer still used the word with the Latin root - from "substantia" = "substance", because there is no other exact equivalent in English with an Anglo-Saxon origin. "Being" in the 1973 translation/paraphrase is not the same word, it is simply a form of the plain old verb "to be" and does not get anywhere near the important concept of "substance".
