Similarly he writes in another letter:
As you know, to say what is correct concerning the Father and the Son is to
try to walk above the clouds. And so I will first pray to the Lord, so that when
I come he will grant me favor for what I must do, and so I will begin in these
matters, not with an extensive examination, nor in a roundabout way, but
concisely.
