40. Where, then, the grace of the Spirit is
asserted, is that of God the Father or of the Only-begotten Son
denied? By no means; for as the Father is in the Son, and the Son
in the Father, so, too, “the love of God is shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy Spirit, Who hath been given us.” Rom. v. 5. And as he who is blessed in Christ
is blessed in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Spirit, because the Name is one and the Power one; so, too, when any
divine operation, whether of the Father, or of the Son, or of the Holy
Spirit, is treated of, it is not referred only to the Holy Spirit, but
also to the Father and the Son, and not only to the Father, but also to
the Son and the Spirit.
