396 III. xvii. 2. Unde et Dominus pollicitus est mittere se Paracletum,
qui nos aptaret Deo. Sicut enim de arido tritico massa una fieri non
potest sine humore, neque unus panis; ita nec nos multi unum fieri
in Christo Jesu poteramus, sine aqua quæ de cœlo est. Et sicut arida
terra, si non percipiat humorem, non fructificat; sic et nos, lignum
aridum exsistentes primum, nunquam fructificaremus vitam, sine
superna voluntaria pluvia. Corpora enim nostra per lavacrum illam,
quæ est ad incorruptionem, unitatem acceperunt; animæ autem per
Spiritum.
397 III. xvii. 2.
398 V. vi. 1.—vii. 1. Incompositus est enim et simplex Spiritus, et ipse
vita est eorum qui percipiunt illum.——ix. 2. Spiritum Patris, qui
emundat hominem, et sublevat in vitam.——xii. 2. Ἕτερόν ἐστι πνοὴ
ζωῆς, ἡ καὶ ψυχικὸν ἀπεργαζομένη τὸν ἄνθρωπον· καὶ ἕτερον πνεῦμα
ζωοποιοῦν, τὸ καὶ πνευματικὸν αὐτὸν ἀποτελοῦν.... διὸ καὶ πάλιν ὁ
αὐτὸς Ἠσαΐας διαστέλλων τὰ προειρημένα φησί· Πνεῦμα γὰρ παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ
ἐξελεύσεται, καὶ πνοὴν πᾶσαν ἐγὼ ἐποίησα· τὸ πνεῦμα ἰδίως ἐπὶ τοῦ
Θεοῦ τάξας τοῦ ἐκχέοντος αὐτὸ in novissimis temporibus διὰ τῆς
υἱοθεσίας ἐπὶ τὴν ἀνθρωπότητα, τὴν δὲ πνοὴν κοινῶς ἐπὶ τῆς κτίσεως·
καὶ ποίημα ἀναγορεύσας αὐτὴν. ἕτερον δέ ἐστι τὸ ποιηθὲν τοῦ
ποιήσαντος. Ἡ οὖν πνοὴ πρόσκαιρος, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ἀένναον. καὶ ἡ μὲν
πνοὴ ἀκμάσασα πρὸς βραχὺ, καὶ, καιρῷ τινι παραμείνασα, μετὰ τοῦτο
πορεύεται, ἄπνουν καταλιποῦσα ἐκεῖνο, περὶ ὃ ἦν τὸ πρότερον· τὸ δὲ
περιλαβὸν ἔνδοθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἅτε ἀεὶ παραμόνιμον,
οὐδέποτε καταλείπει αὐτὸν.
399 IV. xxxi. 2. Quando igitur hic vitale semen, id est, Spiritum
remissionis peccatorum per quem vivificamur, effudit in humanum
genus?
400 V. ii. 3. Πῶς δεκτικὴν μὴ εἶναι λέγουσι τὴν σάρκα τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ
Θεοῦ, ἥτις ἐστὶ ζωὴ αἰώνιος, τὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ σώματος καὶ αἵματος τοῦ
Κυρίου τρεφομένην, καὶ μέλος αὐτοῦ ὑπάρχουσαν;
401 IV. xli. 2. Secundum igitur naturam quæ est secundum conditionem, ut
ita dicam, omnes filii Dei sumus, propter quod a Deo omnes facti
sumus: secundum autem dictoaudientiam [obedientiam] et doctrinam non
omnes filii Dei sunt, sed qui credunt ei et faciunt ejus voluntatem:
qui autem non credunt et non faciunt ejus voluntatem filii et angeli
sunt diaboli.
402 I. x. 1. ad finem. See p. 91, note 7.——IV. xli. 3. See p. 166, note
5.
