157. We have shown how all things are
“of” Him, and likewise how all things are also
“through” Him. Who then doubts that all things are
“in” Him, when another Scripture saith: “For in
Him are all things founded, that are in the heavens, and in Him they
were created, and He is before all things, and all things consist in
Him”? (Col. i.
16). Of Him, then, thou
hast grace; Himself thou hast for thy Creator; in Him thou findest the
foundation of all things.
