If they should say Max., Dial. cum Pyrrh., indeed, that the holy Fathers said in their disputation concerning the Holy Trinity, “Things that have one and the same essence have also one and the same energy, and things which have different essences have also different energies,” and that it is not right to transfer to the dispensation what has reference to matters of theology, we shall answer that if it has been said by the Fathers solely with reference to theology, and if the Son has not even after the incarnation the same energy as the Father, Max., Dial. cum Pyrrh. assuredly He cannot have the same essence. But to whom shall we attribute this, My Father worketh hitherto and I work St. John v. 17.: and this, What things soever He seeth the Father doing, these also doeth the Son likewise Ibid. 19.: and this, If ye believe not Me, believe My works Ibid. x. 38.: and this, The work which I do bear witness concerning Me Ibid. v. 36.: and this, As the Father raised up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He will Ibid. 21.. For all these shew not only that He is of like essence to the Father even after the incarnation, but that He has also the same energy.
