But let it fal upon a firm, and solid body, pierce, and pass it cannot: and therefore it fals upon the body, and returns upon it self from the body: the falling is the reflecting of it, and by returning, it comes to be reflected.
Here note, The Light is one thing; but the reflecting, and returned, or to be reflected upon it self, is another. ⟨p. 426⟩These answer each the other, stir up the act, each of other; no reflecting, no returning; no returning, no reflecting. They give being to, and maintain being each in other: mark that, The reflecting, and being reflected, is not the cause of the Light, but each of other.
So here: The Wisdom of the God-head, is like the Light reflecting upon it self, there is a like Image of it self returned again, and conceived. This being conceived, as it had all from the Father, so it eyes, and answers all in the Father conceiving.
