CHAPTER XXI.
ssss1
Is this the age of the age, or ages of ages? ‑‑The eternity of God contains the ages of time themselves, and can be called the age of the age or ages of ages.
Is this, then, the age of the age, or ages of ages? For, as an age of time contains all temporal things, so thy eternity contains even the ages of time themselves. And these are indeed an age, because of their indivisible unity; but ages, because of their endless immeasurability. And, although thou art so great, O Lord, that all things are full of thee, and exist in thee; yet thou art so without all space, that neither midst, nor half, nor any part, is in thee.
CHAPTER XXII.
ssss1
He alone is what he is and who be is. ‑‑All things need God for their being and their well‑being.
Therefore, thou alone, O Lord, art what thou art; and thou art he who thou art. For, what is one thing in the whole and another in the parts, and in which there is any mutable element, is not altogether what it is. And what begins from non‑existence, and can be conceived not to exist, and unless it subsists through something else, returns to non‑existence; and what has a past existence, which is no longer, or a future existence, which is not yet, ‑‑this does not properly and absolutely exist.
