THE HOLY SPIRIT, BECAUSE* IT PROCEEDS FROM THE ONE GOD BY MEANS OF HIS HUMAN, IS IN ITS ESSENCE THAT SAME GOD; BUT IN REFERENCE TO SUBORDINATE THINGS WHICH ARE SPATIAL IT IS TO ALL APPEARANCE THE HOLY SPIRIT 1. What God was before creation, such He is after it; and so, such as He has been from eternity, such He is to eternity. 2. Before creation God was not in an extended space, nor is He after creation either, to eternity. 3. Consequently God is present in space apart from space and in time apart from time. 4. Thus the Holy Spirit proceeding from the One God, by means of His Human, is that same God. 5. Because God is everywhere the same, it cannot be said that He proceeds, except in appearance in reference to spaces, for these do proceed; just as is the case to all appearance with subordinate things which are in spaces. 6. And because these spaces are in the created world, it follows that the Holy Spirit there is the Divine proceeding. 7. The fact of God's Omnipresence is ample proof that the Holy Spirit is the Divine proceeding from the One and Indivisible God, and is not a God as a person by himself. * N. here has qui ("who" or "which"), but Sk. has quia ("because").
