75. Hearest thou, then, the Word of God, and wilt
separate Him from the Father’s Will and Power? Thou hearest
Him called the living Word, the healing Word—seek not then to
compare Him with the word of our mouth; for if the word we utter,
though it have not eyes to see, nor ears to hear, yet speaks, and still
the knowledge of what it speaks is wrought by virtue of hidden
mysteries of man’s nature, how can he escape the charge of
blasphemy, who requires that some sort of bodily vision and hearing
shall go along with the Godhead in the Word of God, and thinks that the
Son can do nothing of Himself, save what He shall have seen the Father
doing, though (as we have said) there is in the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit the same Will, both to do and not to do, and the same Power, by
reason of unity in the same substance.
