to prove in due order that the Spirit is not to be reckoned amongst all
things, let us take the Apostle, whose words they call in question, as
an authority for this position. For what “all things”
would be, whether visible or invisible, he himself declared when he
said: “For in Him were all things created in the heavens
and in earth.” Col. i. 16. You see
that “all things” is spoken of things in the heavens, and
of things in earth, for in
the heavens are also invisible things which
were made.
