Works Augustine of Hippo (354-430) A Treatise on Faith and the Creed
Chapter 2.--Of God and His Exclusive Eternity.

3.

And since He created all things by the Word, 1 which Word is also designated the Truth, and the Power, and the Wisdom of God, 2 --as also under many other appellations the Lord Jesus Christ, who 3 is commended to our faith, is presented likewise to our mental apprehensions, to wit, our Deliverer and Ruler, 4 the Son of God; for that Word, by whose means all things were founded, could not have been begotten by any other than by Him who founded all things by His instrumentality;--


  1. John i. 3 ↩

  2. John xiv. 6; 1 Cor. i. 24 ↩

  3. For qui several mss. give quibus here = "under" many other appellations is the Lord Jesus Christ introduced to our mental apprehensions, by which He is commended to our faith. ↩

  4. For Rector we also find Creator = Creator. ↩
