126. Now I should like them to answer what it is in man which knows the things of a man. Certainly that must be reasonable which surpasses the other powers of the soul, and by which the highest nature of man is estimated. What, then, is the Spirit, Who knows the deep things of God, and through Whom Almighty God is revealed? Is He inferior in the fulness of the Godhead Who is proved even by this instance to be of one substance with the Father? Or is He ignorant of anything Who knows the counsels of God, and His mysteries which have been hidden 1 Cor. ii. 7 ff. from the beginning? What is there that He knows not Who knows all things that are of God? For “the Spirit searcheth even the deep things of God.” 1 Cor. ii. 10.
