quid apertius, absque aliena quam sumat facie Verbum non posse videri, posse tamen, cum malit, idem numquam Patre viso terrenis oculis habitu se ostendere nostro, saepe et in angelicas vel mortales moderatum induci species, queat ut sub imagine cerni? hoc Verbum est quod vibratum Patris ore benigno sumpsit virgineo fragilem de corpore formam.
What is plainer than that, apart from an external form which He assumes, the Word cannot be seen, but that when He so wills, though the Father has never been seen, yet the Word can show himself to earthly eyes in habit like ourselves, and that often He qualifies himself and puts on the shape of angel or of man, that He may be visible in a likeness? This is the Word which, sent forth from the Fathers gracious mouth, took upon Him a perishable form from a maidens body.
