19. Luke
and John Suggest that One May Loose the Shoe-Latchets of the Logos
Without Stooping Down.
We must not, however, omit to ask how it comes that Luke
and John give the speech without the phrase “to stoop
down.” He, perhaps, who stoops down may be held to unloose
in the sense which we have stated. On the other hand, it may be
that one who fixes his eyes on the height of the exaltation of the
Logos, may find the loosing of those shoes which when one is seeking
them seem to be bound, so that He also looses those shoes which are
separable from the Logos, and beholds the Logos divested of inferior
things, as He is, the Son of God.
