64. I might argue: The Man [Christ Jesus]
was in pre-existence so far as His body was foreknown, though His power
is from everlasting—for both the Church and the Saints were
foreordained before the worlds began. But here I lay aside this
argument, and urge that the being made concerns not the Godhead, but
the nature of the Incarnation, even as John himself said:
“This is He of Whom I said: After me cometh a Man, Who was
made before me.”
