  Will is further described as taking its own root in God's Essence, and is sometimes (but not always) described as the immediate creative source of (and not just intermediary between) matter and  form.[22] Complicating this picture of Will's creation of matter and form, we also learn on the contrary that Will is the direct source only of form (and not  matter)[23]—a  point supported further by the claim that Will is (1) identical to Wisdom (and the source of form; see Fons Vitae 5.42, p. 335, lines 4–5), and (2) that Wisdom is the source only of form (and not matter), with the divine Essence itself being the direct source of matter: “…materia est creata ab essentia, et forma est a proprietate essentiae, id est sapientia et unitate…” (“…matter is created from Essence, and form is from the property of Essence, viz., from Wisdom and Unity…”; Fons Vitae 5.42, p.333, lines 4–5; see too 5.42, p. 335, lines 4–5).
