And Justin well said in his book against Marcion, that he would not have believed the
Lord Himself, if He had announced any other God than the Fashioner and Maker [of the
world], and our Nourisher. But since, from the one God, who both made this world and
formed us, and contains as well as administers all things, there came to us the only-begotten
Son, summing up His own workmanship in Himself, my faith in Him is stedfast, and my
love towards the Father is immoveable, God bestowing both upon us.—Irenæus: Heresies,
iv. 6.
