visibilis de fonte Deus, non ipse Dei fons visibilis; cerni potis est qui nascitur, at non innatus cerni potis est: latet os Patris illud unde Deus qui visibilem se praestitit olim, tale aliquid formans in sese quale secuta est passio, quae corpus sibi vindicat; ardua nam vis est inpassibilis, quoniam natura superni ignis ad horrificas nescit descendere poenas, nec capit humanis angoribus excruciari, pura, serena, micans, liquido praelibera motu, subdita nec cuiquam, dominatrix utpote rerum, cui non principium de tempore, sed super omne tempus et ante diem maiestas cum Patre summo, immo animus Patris et ratio, via consiliorum, quae non facta manu nec voce creata iubentis protulit imperium patrio ructata profundo.
God who comes forth from the fountain-head is visible, but the very fountain-head of God is invisible; He that is born can be seen, but He that was not born cannot be seen. Concealed is that mouth of the Father from whence came God who once made himself visible, taking on himself such a form as suffering, which demands a body, followed upon. For the potency on high cannot suffer, since the heavenly fire cannot lower itself to feel dreadful pains, nor does it admit of being racked with human tortures. It is pure, serene, shining, utterly free and unconstrained in movement, not subject to any power, for it is master of all things, having no beginning from a time, but beyond all time and before the days began it is the majesty that resides with the Father supreme, yea, the spirit of the Father, his thought, the channel of his designs, which, not made by his hand nor created by the voice of his command, but emitted from the depths of the Father, carried forth his will.
