18.  He who hath seen the Son, hath seen the Father John xiv. 9.:  for in all things the Son is like to Him who begat Him See above, § 4, note 9.; begotten Life of Life and Light of Light, Power of Power, God of God; and the characteristics of the Godhead are unchangeable ἀπαράλλακτοι.  The word was used by the Orthodox Bishops at Nicæa, who said that “the Word must be described as the True power and Image of the Father, in all things like the Father and Himself incapable of change.”  See the notes of Dr. Newman and Mr. Robertson on Athanasius (de Decretis, § 20). in the Son; and he who is counted worthy to behold Godhead in the Son, attains to the fruition of the Father.  This is not my word, but that of the Only-begotten:  Have I been so long time with you, and hast thou not known Me, Philip?  He that hath seen Me, hath seen the Father John xiv. 9..  And to be brief, let us neither separate them, nor make a confusion See iv. 8, note 8.:  neither say thou ever that the Son is foreign to the Father, nor admit those who say that the Father is at one time Father, and at another Son:  for these are strange and impious statements, and not the doctrines of the Church.  But the Father having begotten the Son, remained the Father and is not changed.  He begat Wisdom, yet lost not wisdom Himself; and begat Power, yet became not weak:  He begat God, but lost not His own Godhead:  and neither did He lose anything Himself by diminution or change; nor has He who was begotten any thing wanting.  Perfect is He who begat, Perfect that which was begotten:  God was He who begat, God He who was begotten; God of all Himself, yet entitling the Father His own God.  For He is not ashamed to say, I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God John xx. 17..
