82. What now is the meaning of the words
“seeketh his own glory”? That is, not a glory in
which the Father has no part—for indeed the Word of God is His
glory. Again, our Lord saith: “that they may see My
glory.” S. John xvii. 24. But that
glory of the Word is also the glory of the Father, even as it is
written: “The Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the
Father.” Phil. ii. 11 (another instance of adaptation). In regard
of His Godhead, therefore, the Son of God so hath His own glory, that
the glory of Father and Son is one: He is not, therefore,
inferior in splendour, for the glory is one, nor lower in Godhead, for
the fulness of the Godhead is in Christ. Col. i. 19; ii. 9.
