10. Listen then to the Unbegotten Father, listen to the Only-begotten Son. Hear His words, The Father is greater than I62 St. John xiv. 28., and I and the Father are One63 Ib. x. 30., and He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father also64 Ib. xiv. 9., and The Father is in Me and I in the Father65 Ib. x. 38., and I went out from the Father66 Ib. xvi. 28., and Who is in the bosom of the Father67 Ib. i. 18., and Whatsoever the Father hath He hath delivered to the Son68 The citation which is interpolated in § 8, where see the note, and cf. St. Matt. xi. 25., and The Son hath life in Himself, even as the Father hath in Himself69 St. John v. 26.. Hear in these words the Son, the Image, the Wisdom, the Power, the Glory of God. Next mark the Holy Ghost proclaiming Who shall declare His generation70 Isai. liii. 8.? Note71 Reading observa. the Lord’s assurance, No one knoweth the Son save the Father, neither doth any know the Father save the Son and He to whom the Son willeth to reveal Him72 St. Matt. xi. 27.. Penetrate into the mystery, plunge into the darkness which shrouds that birth, where you will be alone with God the Unbegotten and God the Only-begotten. Make your start, continue, persevere. I know that you will not reach the goal, but I shall rejoice at your progress. For He who devoutly treads an endless road, though he reach no conclusion, will profit by his exertions. Reason will fail for want of words, but when it comes to a stand it will be the better for the effort made.
10. Generatio Dei qui pie et quo fructu investigetur. ---Audi igitur Patrem ingenitum, audi unigenitum Filium; audi: Pater major me est (Joan. XIV, 28); audi: Ego et Pater unum sumus (Joan. X, 30); audi: Qui me vidit, vidit et Patrem (Joan. XIV, 9); audi: Pater in me est, et ego in Patre (Joan. X, 38); audi: Ego de Patre exivi (Joan. XVI, 28); et, Qui est in sinu Patris; et, Omnia quae habet Pater, 0058C tradidit Filio; et, Vitam Filius in semetipso habet, sicut et Pater habet in semetipso (Joan. V, 26); audi Filium imaginem, sapientiam, virtutem, gloriam Dei: et intellige proclamantem Spiritum sanctum: Generationem ejus quis enarrabit (Esa. LIII, 8)? et objurga Dominum testantem: Nemo novit Filium nisi Pater, neque Patrem quis novit nisi Filius, et cui voluerit Filius revelare (Matth. XI, 27: et insere te in hoc secretum, et inter unum ingenitum Deum, et unum unigenitum Deum, arcano te inopinabilis nativitatis immerge. Incipe, procurre, persiste: etsi non perventurum sciam, tamen gratulabor 0059A profecturum. Qui enim pie infinita persequitur, etsi non contingat aliquando, tamen proficiet prodeundo. Stat in hoc intelligentia fine verborum.
