Panthenosia: The Composition of All Dissensions

Just as God is one and immovable due to His infinity, and one is the nature under Him which by its own nature has neither existence nor well-being such that it is moved, but is rather from elsewhere and is moved, and thus from that source stands the one world which is like unto all things: So it is necessarily required that the intellect or spirit who wishes to reconcile others must be of such a nature that he is so fixed and divinely confirmed in immovable and eternal truth that he cannot be moved from it nor ensnared by error, but rather that he may, by the judgment of his fixed nature, move the spirits of others and draw them to the happiness of union, so that the very thing which the one God does in nature and grace regarding essence and the cognition of truth, this man may execute for the restitution of that same truth. When the whole world was to be formed by the one first parent of human nature, there can be no doubt that this holy animal, destined to rule the universe, would have been created and fashioned by the most perfect God with such perfection that he would be, in power, wisdom, and love, like unto all those to whom He was about to give and expound His divine decrees.
