How then are They not alike unoriginate, if They are
coeternal? Because They are from Him, though not after Him.
For that which is unoriginate is eternal, but that which is eternal is
not necessarily unoriginate, so long as it may be referred to the
Father as its origin. Therefore in respect of Cause They are not
unoriginate; but it is evident that the Cause is not necessarily prior
to its effects, for the sun is not prior to its light. And yet
They are in some sense unoriginate, in respect of time, even though you
would scare simple minds with your quibbles, for the Sources of Time
are not subject to time.
