Acts of the Martyrs and Saints, Volume 5

The Discourse of the Thirteen [concerning] the Preceding.

Regarding his economy or "divine administration" in the body and of his Godhead: as a time more [great] he was going forth. For a little of his fullness [is] great when it says, that you received the Holy Spirit the third person of the Trinity. And not in essence does he give the Spirit, but to the Son original: "(1)"; as what Matthew the Evangelist said: that not from his divine essence he gives (to him?) as the Father. And his division [is] the knowledge, when he lifts him to this division from the number, as if it became his, but it appears that he is empty to this original: "(3)", and as if it became his everything. After indeed these things, that it came to him, not that it was given, in the name that is not [in] the Spirit: if his generation that became [is] of God as in everything. If I am, however, not as in him [is] the Spirit of Christ the Anointed One, this is not his. If, however, Christ the Anointed One in you is, the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit, however, is life because of righteousness. His righteous generation as in holiness, the Son of God in power. And not only in that which was given, the words of prophecy from the Father: that not even when it became a generation he brought out, when (the generation is generated in his essence, [he] rises [and] lifts us from these things that were given of the Godhead original: "(4)"). Because of this, when his generation was life that only: because of his promise [it] is flesh that is from the will of life, something that receives life [he] brought out. And the life, however, [is] the shadowing: that he gave to his body in the time of his discourses of his Godhead: and he divided upon him the wonder of these things that in the body [he] appeared: and as that which receives life upon his essence he gave to us.
