Orat. 39.: the Son
is Son and not Father: the Holy Spirit is Spirit and not Father
or Son. For the individuality ἡ ἰδιότης, Latin,
proprietas, the propriety, that which is distinctive of

at all if it were ever changing and altering? Wherefore the Son
of God became Son of Man in order that His individuality might
endure. For since He was the Son of God, He became Son of Man,
being made flesh of the holy Virgin and not losing the individuality of
