In the first place, we must note that the nature of that\r\ndeity which is in Christ in respect of His being the only-begotten\r\nSon of God is one thing, and that human nature which\r\nHe assumed in these last times for the purposes of the dispensation\r\n[of grace] is another. And therefore we have first\r\nto ascertain what the only-begotten Son of God is, seeing He\r\nis called by many different names, according to the circumstances\r\nand views of individuals.

In the beginning, before He formed the earth, before\r\nHe brought forth the fountains of waters, before the mountains\r\nwere made strong, before all the hills, He brought me\r\nforth.”<a id=\"r41\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f41\"><sup>[41]</sup></a> He is also styled First-born, as the apostle has\r\ndeclared: “who is the first-born of every creature.”<a id=\"r42\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f42\"><sup>[42]</sup></a> The\r\nfirst-born, however, is not by nature a different person from\r\nthe Wisdom, but one and the same.
