  9 52|                  CHAPTER LII.~This love is as great as the supreme
 10 52|           How great, then, is this love of the supreme Spirit, common
 11 52|      cannot exist; undoubtedly his love is as great as he himself
 12 53|                 CHAPTER LIII.~This love is identical with the supreme

 14 53| nevertheless, Father and Son would love themselves and one another.~
 15 53|        therefore follows that this love is nothing else than what
 16 53|        that Father and Son and the love of both are one supreme
 17 53|     supreme Being? Therefore, this love is supreme Wisdom, supreme
 18 54|            not exist except as one love. ~IT should be carefully
 19 54|            from the fact that this love proceeds not from that in
 20 54|          the Father separately the love of the supreme Spirit emanates
 21 55|                   CHAPTER LV.~This love is not their Son. ~SINCE
 22 55|         not their Son. ~SINCE this love, then, has its being equally
 23 55|         likeness to its parent; so love plainly denies that it sustains
 24 55|           father and mother of the love emanating from them. It

 26 56|          the son is begotten; only love neither begotten nor unbegotten. ~
 27 56|           it is apparent that this love can neither be said, in
 28 56|       cause.~On this ground, then, love, proceeding from supreme
 29 56|          while it is manifest that love is by no means offspring
 30 56|            offspring. But only the love of both is neither begotten
 31 57|                 CHAPTER LVII.~This love is uncreated and creator,
 32 57|          and Son. ~BUT, since this love separately is the supreme
 33 57|            Father and Son, and the love of both are not more than
 34 57|    uncreated and creator, so, too, love separately is uncreated
 35 57|         may be used, breathe their love: for, although the supremely
 36 57|        Being sends forth this, its love, which proceeds from it,
 37 57|            this Being breathes its love.~But, if this expression
 38 57|           Being is its Son, so its love may fittingly enough be
 39 57|           by breathing; while that love is regarded as the Breath
 40 57|    mysteriously proceeds.~And this love, too, it seems, from the
 41 57|       itself. And, indeed, if this love is actually designated by
 42 57|       shall be signified that this love is identical with Father
 43 59|            intelligence and in its love, and the intelligence in
 44 59|     intelligence in its memory and love, and the love in its memory

 46 59|           whole, and remembers its love as a whole, and conceives
 47 59|      intelligence, the Son; by the love, the Spirit of both. In
 48 60|         may remember, conceive, or love: since each taken by himself
 49 60|        memory and intelligence and love and all that is necessarily
 50 60|    intelligence, and the Spirit as love, that it shall also be understood
 51 60|            through the Son, and to love only through the Spirit
 52 60|      through himself alone only to love, while the Father remembers
 53 60|      remember or to conceive or to love. For, each taken separately
 54 60|        memory and intelligence and love, and all that is necessarily
 55 61|         Father is intelligence and love as well as memory, and the
 56 61|          and the Son is memory and love as well as intelligence,
 57 61|       memory and intelligence than love; how is it that the Father
 58 61|       intelligence, and the Spirit love.~But this question is easily
 59 61|      though he is intelligence and love, is not for that reason
 60 61|  intelligence, begotten of any, or love, proceeding from any, but
 61 61|         not memory as begetter, or love as proceeding from another
 62 67|        memory and intelligence and love, is united in an ineffable
 63 68|     created in order that it might love this Being. ~IT seems to

 65 68|        this purpose, that it might love the supreme Being above
 66 68|           good; nay, that it might love nothing except it, unless
 67 68|          the rational being cannot love this Being, unless it has
 68 69|            this end, that it might love the supreme Being. It must,
 69 69|            this end, that it might love that Being eternally; or
 70 69|          or by violence, lose this love.~But it is impious to suppose
 71 69|            this end, that it might love the supreme Being eternally.

 74 69|          necessarily it should not love; especially since it should
 75 70|       supremely loved, nor does he love the soul that loves him;
 76 70|            if it does not cease to love? If what waits upon love
 77 70|           love? If what waits upon love is so great, how great is
 78 70|            the recompense given to love? And if the sustainer of

 80 70|     useless to itself without this love, is with it preeminent among
 81 70|       nothing can be the reward of love except what is preeminent
 82 70|           good, which demands such love toward itself, also requires
 83 70|          loving soul. For, who can love justice, truth, blessedness,
 84 70|   bestowals neither compensate the love, nor console the loving
 85 70|         some other return than its love, it wishes to be loved and
 86 70|   earnestly devotes itself through love to longing for supreme blessedness,
 87 70|             will it be able not to love it; nor will that blessedness
 88 71|            soul which despises the love of the supreme good will
 89 72|       loves or scorns that for the love of which it was created,
 90 73|          as so loving that for the love of which they were created,
 91 75|            does not believe cannot love or hope. It is, therefore,
 92 77|          strong and living through love. For, that the faith which
 93 77|          accompanied by sufficient love is by no means idle, if
 94 77|            it could not do without love, may be proved from this
 95 77|         because it has the life of love without which it could not
 96 77|      because it lacks that life of love, with which it would not
 97 77|         like manner, faith without love be called dead; not because
 98 77|            lost its life, that is, love; but because it has not
 99 77|             which operates through love is recognised as living,
