It remains that we inquire what is the “image of His\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_32\">32</span>goodness;” and here, I think, we must understand the same\r\nthing which we expressed a little ago, in speaking of the\r\nimage formed by the mirror. For He is the primal goodness,\r\ndoubtless, out of which the Son is born, who, being in all respects\r\nthe image of the Father, may certainly also be called\r\nwith propriety the image of His goodness. For there is no\r\nother second goodness existing in the Son, save that which\r\nis in the Father. And therefore also the Saviour Himself\r\nrightly says in the Gospel, “There is none good save one only,\r\nGod the Father,” that by such an expression it may be understood\r\nthat the Son is not of a different goodness, but of that\r\nonly which exists in the Father, of whom He is rightly termed\r\nthe image, because He proceeds from no other source but\r\nfrom that primal goodness, lest there might appear to be in\r\nthe Son a different goodness from that which is in the Father.\r\nNor is there any dissimilarity or difference of goodness in the\r\nSon. And therefore it is not to be imagined that there is a\r\nkind of blasphemy, as it were, in the words, “There is none\r\ngood save one only, God the Father,” as if thereby it may\r\nbe supposed to be denied that either Christ or the Holy Spirit\r\nwas good. But, as we have already said, the primal goodness\r\nis to be understood as residing in God the Father, from\r\nwhom both the Son is born and the Holy Spirit proceeds,\r\nretaining within them, without any doubt, the nature of that\r\ngoodness which is in the source whence they are derived.\r\nAnd if there be any other things which in Scripture are\r\ncalled good, whether angel, or man, or servant, or treasure,\r\nor a good heart, or a good tree, all these are so termed catachrestically,<a id=\"r72\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f72\"><sup>[72]</sup></a>\r\nhaving in them an accidental, not an essential\r\ngoodness. But it would require both much time and labour\r\nto collect together all the titles of the Son of God, such <i>e.g.</i>\r\nas the true light, or the door, or the righteousness, or the\r\nsanctification, or the redemption, and countless others; and to\r\nshow for what reasons each one of them is so given. Satisfied,\r\ntherefore, with what we have already advanced, we go on\r\nwith our inquiries into those other matters which follow.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER II.
