5

For if you are the Cherub when you contemplate the essentials of God and

you wonder because the divine Being is at once primary and last Being,

eternal and most present most simple and greatest or unlimited, all

everywhere and yet never bounded, most actual and never moved, most perfect

and having nothing superfluous or lacking, and yet immense and infinite

without bounds, one to the highest degree and yet all-inclusive as having

all things in itself, as total power, total truth, total goodness, look to

the propitiatory and wonder that in it the primal principle is joined to

the last term, God joined with man formed on the sixth day, the eternal

joined with temporal man, born in the fullness of time of a Virgin - the

most simple joined with the most composite, the most actual with the most

passive and mortal, the most perfect and immense with the little, the most

highly unified and all-inclusive with the composite individual distinct

from all else, namely, Jesus Christ
