86. For it is of the Lord to fill all
things, Who says: “I fill heaven and earth.” Jer. xxiii. 24. If, then, it is the Lord Who fills
heaven and earth, Who can judge the Holy Spirit to be without a share
in the dominion and divine power, seeing that He has filled the world,
and what is beyond the whole world, filled Jesus the Redeemer of the
whole world? For it is written: “But Jesus, full of
the Holy Spirit, departed from Jordan.” S. Luke iv. 1. Who, then, except one who
possessed the same fulness could fill Him Who fills all
things?
