For he calls him a light that "shines in the darkness" [Jn 1:5] and was not overcome by it, inasmuch as after he had fitted together all things that had derived from the passion they did not become acquainted with him. And he calls him Son, Truth, Life, and Word become flesh. We have beheld the latter's glory, he says. " [Jn 1:14] So he precisely discloses also the first quartet when he speaks of the Father; Grace; the Only-Begotten; Truth.

" [Jn 1:3] For the Word became the cause of the forming and origination of all the aions that came after it. "[Jn 1:4] Here he discloses a pair. For he says that the entirety came into being through it, but Life is in it.

Some said that Silence was the Father's femenine consort, and the two together were called the Source.
