44. How, then, does Power assert, as it
were, under oath: “Verily, verily I say unto you,”
which means: “Of a truth, of a truth, I tell
you”? S. John v. 19. Truly,
then, Thou speakest, Lord Jesus, and dost affirm, repeating indeed thy
solemn declaration, that Thou canst do nothing, save what Thou hast
seen the Father doing. Thou didst make the universe. Did
Thy Father then make another universe, for Thee to take as a
model? So must Thy blasphemers confess that there are two, or a
multitude of universes, as philosophers affirm, and thus also entangle
themselves in this heathen error, Namely, the
error of postulating two mutually exclusive infinites. or, if
they will follow the truth, let them say that what Thou hast made, Thou
didst make, without any pattern.
