That the holy man says: We have said that there are, among the things already agreed upon, two creative powers. The one, out of things that are not, by bare will, without delay, simultaneously with the willing, itself working what it wills to make; and this is the Father. The other, ordering and adorning, in imitation of the former, the things already brought into being; and this is the Son, the all-powerful and mighty hand of the Father, by which, after making matter out of things that are not, He sets it in order.
