102. So he not only called the Spirit Lord,
but also added: “But where the Spirit of the Lord is, there
is liberty. So we all with unveiled face, reflecting the glory of
the Lord, are formed anew into the same image from glory to glory, as
from the Lord the Spirit;” 2 Cor. iii. 17, 18. that is,
we who have been before converted to the Lord, so as by spiritual
understanding to see the glory of the Lord, as it were, in the mirror
of the Scriptures, are now being transformed from that glory which
converted us to the Lord, to the heavenly glory. Therefore since
it is the Lord to Whom we are converted, but the Lord is that Spirit by
Whom we are formed anew, who are converted to the Lord, assuredly the
Holy Ghost is pointed out, for He Who forms anew receives those who are
converted. For how should He form again those whom He had not
received.
