Chapter VII.—By His Co-Eternal
Word He Speaks, and All Things are Done.
9. Thou callest us, therefore, to understand
the Word, God with Thee, God,1032
which is spoken eternally, and by
it are all things spoken eternally. For what was spoken was not
finished, and another spoken until all were spoken; but all things
at once and for ever. For otherwise have we time and change, and
not a true eternity, nor a true immortality. This I know, O my God,
and give thanks. I know, I confess to Thee, O Lord, and whosoever
is not unthankful to certain truth, knows and blesses Thee with me.
We know, O Lord, we know; since in proportion as anything is not
what it was, and is what it was not, in that proportion does it die
and arise. Not anything, therefore, of Thy Word giveth place and
cometh into place again, because it is truly immortal and eternal.
And, therefore, unto the Word co-eternal with Thee, Thou dost at
once and for ever say all that Thou dost say; and whatever Thou
sayest shall be made, is made; nor dost Thou make otherwise than by
speaking; yet all things are not made both together and everlasting
which Thou makest by speaking.
