So that the soul Max.,
Dial. cum Pyrrh.; Greg. Naz., Ep. 1, ad
Cledon. of the Lord being moved of its own
free-will willed, but willed of its free-will those things which His
divine will willed it to will. For the flesh was not moved at a
sign from the Word, as Moses and all the holy men were moved at a sign
from heaven. But He Himself, Who was one and yet both God and
man, willed according to both His divine and His human will.
Wherefore it was not in inclination but rather in natural power that
the two wills of the Lord differed from one another. For His
divine will was without beginning and all-effecting, as having power
that kept pace with it, and free from passion; while His human will had
a beginning in time, and itself endured the natural and innocent
passions, and was not naturally omnipotent. But yet it was
omnipotent because it truly and naturally had its origin in the
God-Word.
