154. Now, I ask, wherein does He, through
Whom are all things, appear less than He, of Whom are all things?
Is it because He is declared to be the Worker? But the Father
also works, for He is true who said, “My Father worketh hitherto,
and I work.” S.
John v. 17.
Therefore, even as the Father worketh, so worketh the Son also; and so
He Who worketh is not limitary in power nor abject, for the Father also
worketh; which being so, that which is common to the Son with the
Father, or even which the Son has by the Father, ought not to be the
less esteemed, lest heretics further dishonour the Father in the Person
of the Son.
