56. And if you would know what it is to
‘dwell in bodily fashion,’ understand what it is to speak
in one that speaks, to be seen in one who is seen, to work in one who
works, to be God in God, whole of whole, one of one; and thus learn
what is meant by the fulness
of God in bodily shape. Remember, too, that the Apostle does not
keep silence on the question, whose Godhead it is, which dwells fully
in Christ in bodily fashion, for he says, For the invisible things
of Him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being
perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power
and divinity Rom. i. 20.. So it is
His Godhead that dwells in Christ in bodily fashion, not partially but
wholly, not parcelwise but in fulness; and so dwelling that the Two are
one, and so one, that the One Who is God does not differ from the Other
Who is God: Both so equally divine, as a perfect birth engendered
perfect God. And the birth exists thus in its perfection, because
the fulness of the Godhead dwells bodily in God born of
God.
