148. And not only in Peter is there found to
be one operation of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, but also
in all the apostles the unity of the divine operation, and a certain
authority over the dispensations of heaven. For the divine
operation works by the power of a command, not in the execution of a
ministry; for God, when He works, does not fashion anything by toil or
art, but “He spake and they were made.” Ps. xxxiii.
[xxxii.] 9. He said, “Let there be light,
and there was light,” Gen. i. 3. for the effecting
of the work is comprised in the commandment of God.
