in every respect, too, He is
man, the formation of God; and thus He took up
man into Himself, the
invisible becoming visible, the incomprehensible being made comprehensible, the impassible becoming capable of suffering, and the Word being made
man, thus summing up all things in Himself: so that as in super-celestial, spiritual, and
invisible things, the Word of God is
supreme, so also in things visible and corporeal He might possess the supremacy, and, taking to Himself the pre-eminence, as well as constituting Himself Head of the Church, He might draw all things to Himself at the proper time.
