The Father is holy, and likewise the Son and the Spirit,
and so They are honoured in the same Trisagion: nor can we speak more
worthily of God than by calling Him Holy; whence it is clear that we
must not derogate from the dignity of the Holy Spirit. In Him is
all which pertains to God, since in baptism He is named with the Father
and the Son, and the Father has given to Him to be greater than all,
nor can any one deprive Him of this. And so from the very passage
of St. John which heretics used against His dignity, the equality of
the Trinity and the Unity of the Godhead is established. Lastly,
after explaining how the Son receives from the Father, St. Ambrose
shows how various heresies are refuted by the passage cited.
