144. Besides, there is a common idea that the Divine which is the Father did not take on the Human, because this Divine fills the whole world. But the idea of space ought not to come into the matter; because God, regarded in Himself, is Man (as will be shown). The case would be the same if the Divine which is called the Son took the Human, for this Divine is like the Divine which is called the Father; for it is not denied that the Lord's Divine assumed the Human; nor can the idea of extension into the universe be held in respect to this Divine any more than concerning the Divine of the Father.
