An ergo hoc est saeculum saeculi, sive saecula saeculorum? Sicut enim saeculum temporum continet omnia temporalia; sic tua aeternitas continet etiam ipsa saecula temporum. Quae saeculum quidem est, propter indivisibilem unitatem; saecula vero, propter interminabilem immensitatem. Et quamvis ita sis magnus, Domine, ut omnia sint te plena, et sint in te; sic tamen es sine omni spatio, ut nec medium, nec dimidium, nec ulla pars sit in te.
