Cathedral Homilies

[The text begins mid-argument, discussing the nature of the Son in relation to the Father]

...that it is of the nature kyānā of God. And because of this, he also cannot be a Son by nature, but only by will ṣebyānā. And if he were a Son by will, he would not be from nature. And if he were not from nature, he would not be God by nature, as the Father is. And so this is found against them: that God is not even Father by nature. For if the Son is from the nature of the Father, and nature cannot beget unless by will, then the nature of the Father is found to be subject to will. And whoever is subject to will is not the master of his own nature. And whoever is not the master of his own nature is also not God. And thus they have even blasphemed against the Father.

A circular red ink stamp from the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana is placed in the middle of the right column. A second, smaller oval black stamp is located near the bottom center.

by will. Just as we also, by will, are children of God. And if the Son exists by will, he is not from nature. And if he is not from nature, he is not God by nature, as the Father is. And so this is found against them: that God is not even Father by nature. For if the Son is from the nature of the Father, and nature cannot beget unless by will, then the nature of the Father is found to be subject to will. And whoever is subject to will is not the master of his own nature. And whoever is not the master of his own nature is also not God. And thus they have even blasphemed against the Father.
