63. If, then, the Son can, by virtue of a
common hidden power of the same nature which He has with the Father,
both see and act in an invisible manner, and by the fulness of His
Godhead execute every decree of His Will, what remains for us but to
believe that the Son, by reason of indivisible unity of power, does
nothing, save what He has seen the Father doing, forasmuch as because
of His incomparable love the Son does nothing of Himself, since He
wills nothing that is against His Father’s Will? Which
truly is the proof not of weakness but of unity. Our Lord did not
simply assert that He and His Father are One, without revealing to
those, at least, who had faith to perceive it, what is one great bond
of that Unity, showing men, so far as man can comprehend the matter,
what that Unity consists in, viz., absolute and perfect harmony of
will.
