6. Behold now, the Trinity appears unto me in an enigma, which
Thou, O my God, art, since [Thou, O Father, in the
Beginning of our wisdom, Which is Thy Wisdom, born of
Thyself,!equal and co-eternal unto Thee, that is, in!Thy
Son, hast created heaven and earth. Many;things have we said of the
heaven of heavens, and of the earth invisible and formless, and of the
darksome deep, in reference to the wandering defects of its spiritual
deformity, were it not converted unto Him from whom was its life,
such as it was, and by His enlightening became a beauteous life, and
the heaven of that heaven which was afterwards set between water and
water. And under the name of God, I now held the Father, who made
these things; and under the name of the Beginning, the Son, in whom
He made these things; and believing, as I did, that my God was the
Trinity, I sought further in His holy words, and behold, Thy
Spirit was borne over the waters. Behold the Trinity, 0 my God,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, the Creator of all creation.
