From the Same First
Book.
7. It was said above that God is the spring of all
good things, but the Son was called the river flowing from Him; because
the word is an emanation of the mind, and—to speak after human
fashion—is emitted from the heart by the mouth. But the
mind which springs forth by the tongue is different from the word which
exists in the heart. For this latter, after it has emitted the
former, remains and is what it was before; but the mind sent forth
flies away, and is carried everywhere around, and thus each is in each
although one is from the other, and they are one although they are
two. And it is thus that the Father and the Son are said to be
one, and to be in one another.
