32. But in the church I only know of one
Image, that is the Image of the unseen God, of Which God has
said: “Let us make man in Our image and Our
likeness;” Gen. i. 26. that Image of
Which it is written, that Christ is the Brightness of His glory and the
Image of His Person. Heb. i. 3. In that
Image I perceive the Father, as the Lord Jesus Himself has said:
“He that seeth Me seeth the Father.” S. John xiv. 9. For this Image is not separated from
the Father, which indeed has taught me the unity of the Trinity,
saying: “I and My Father are One,” S. John x. 30. and again: “All things that
the Father hath are Mine.” S. John xvi. 15. Also
of the Holy Spirit, saying that the Spirit is Christ’s, and has
received of Christ, as it is written: “He shall receive of
Mine, and shall declare it unto you.” S. John xvi. 14.
