From the same oration, on the text, "Like a flower in winter completely out of season, and for women a man's ornament or for men a woman's, or geometry for one in mourning. " ................ 465
(1216) Of the same, from the great theological [oration], on the text, "For that God exists and is the creative and sustaining cause of all things, both sight and the natural law are our teacher, the one encountering things seen, both those that are well-fixed and those that move, and those that are, so to speak, immovably moved and carried along, the other, through the things that are seen and ordered, reasoning to their author." .......................... 466
Of the same oration, on the text, "But if incorporeal, not even this is yet indicative of His essence, just as neither is 'unbegotten,' and 'without beginning,' and 'unchangeable,' and 'incorruptible,' and whatever things are said to be of God or about God. "............................................ 468
From the same oration, on the text, "For as it is not sufficient to say 'body' or 'has been begotten' in order to represent and declare that about which these things are said, but it is necessary also to state the subject of these things, if one is to represent the concept perfectly and adequately; for this thing that is in a body and perishes is either a man or an ox or a horse. " ....................... 469
From the same oration, on the text, "For if that which is not is nowhere, that which is nowhere is also not, but if it is somewhere, certainly, since it exists, it is either in the universe or beyond the universe." .................. 472

From the same oration, on the text, "But for Paul, if what the third heaven provided was an ecstasy, and the journey up to there, or ascent, or assumption." ............................. 474
From the same oration, on the text, "That the world below would not be able to contain him, John, the forerunner of the Word, the great voice of truth, declared.

From the first oration on the Son, on the text, "For this reason, the Monad, having been moved from the beginning into a Dyad, has come to rest in a Triad. " ........................................................................................ 482
From the same oration, on the text: "But one thing, I think, is the one willing and another is the will, the one begetting and the begetting, the one speaking and the speech, unless we are drunk; the former are the one who moves, the latter are as it were the ........ 483
movement. Therefore the thing willed is not of the will, nor the thing begotten of the begetting (for it does not always follow), nor the thing heard of the utterance, but of the one willing and of the one begetting and of the one speaking. But the things of God are even beyond all these, for whom begetting is perhaps the will to beget."............................................................................................... 483
