the unity of the divine greatness is pointed out, and that Christ
cannot be denied to be a Fount even by heretics, since the Spirit, too,
is called a Fount. And as the Spirit is called a river, so, too,
the Father said: “Behold, I come down upon you like a river
of peace, and like a stream overflowing the glory of the
Gentiles.” Isa. lxvi. 12. And who can
doubt that the Son of God is the River of life, from Whom the streams
of eternal life flowed forth?
