His words are: “And that is not the least\r\nof their marvels, for there are between the upper circles—those\r\nthat are above the heavens—certain inscriptions of which they\r\ngive the interpretation, and among others two words especially,\r\n‘a greater and a less,’ which they refer to Father and Son.”<a id=\"r1221\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1221\"><sup>[1221]</sup></a>\r\nNow, in the Diagram referred to, we found the greater and\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_377\">377</span>the lesser circle, upon the diameter of which was inscribed\r\n“Father and Son;” and between the greater circle (in which\r\nthe lesser was contained) and another<a id=\"r1222\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1222\"><sup>[1222]</sup></a> composed of two circles,—the\r\nouter one of which was yellow, and the inner blue,—a\r\nbarrier inscribed in the shape of a hatchet. And above it, a\r\nshort circle, close to the greater of the two former, having the\r\ninscription “Love;” and lower down, one touching the same\r\ncircle, with the word “Life.” And on the second circle, which\r\nwas intertwined with and included two other circles, another\r\nfigure, like a rhomboid, [entitled] “The foresight of wisdom.”\r\nAnd within their point of common section was “The nature of\r\nwisdom.” And above their point of common section was a\r\ncircle, on which was inscribed “Knowledge;” and lower down\r\nanother, on which was the inscription, “Understanding.” We\r\nhave introduced these matters into our reply to Celsus, to show\r\nto our readers that we know better than he, and not by mere\r\nreport, those things, even although we also disapprove of them.\r\nMoreover, if those who pride themselves upon such matters\r\nprofess also a kind of magic and sorcery,—which, in their\r\nopinion, is the summit of wisdom,—we, on the other hand,\r\nmake no affirmation about it, seeing we never have discovered\r\nanything of the kind. Let Celsus, however, who has been\r\nalready often convicted of false witness and irrational accusations,\r\nsee whether he is not guilty of falsehood in these also, or\r\nwhether he has not extracted and introduced into his treatise,\r\nstatements taken from the writings of those who are foreigners\r\nand strangers to our Christian faith.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VI.","Chapter XXXVIII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-431"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"e9b7e78588e9a8c5f29e3bc7643a68c24607aa44cb9e69c32d258bc508249dc7","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
