Palam certe est rationem habenti, eum non idcirco sui memorem esse aut se intelligere, quia se amat, sed ideo se amare, quia sui meminit, et se intelligit; nec eum se posse amare, si sui non sit memor, aut se non intelligat. Nulla enim res amatur, sine ejus memoria aut intelligentia; et multa tenentur memoria et intelliguntur quae non amantur. Patet igitur amorem summi Spiritus ex eo procedere, quia sui memor est, et se intelligit. Quod si in memoria summi Spiritus intelligitur Pater, in intelligentia Filius manifestum est quia a Patre pariter et a Filio, summi Spiritus amor procedit.
