170. However, lest
anyone should cavil, see what care Scripture takes under divine
inspiration. For it shows to us in what Christ is made subject to
God, whilst it also teaches us in what He made the universe subject to
Himself. And so it says: “Now we see not yet all
things put under Him.” Heb. ii. 8. For we
see Jesus made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of
death. Heb. ii. 9. It shows
therefore that He was made lower in taking on Him our flesh. What
then hinders Him from openly showing His subjection in taking on Him
our flesh, through which He subjects all things to Himself, whilst He
Himself is made subject in it to God the Father?
