《CONTRA ARIANOS》 2.20
亚他那修
51 ( continued). For the passage in the Proverbs, as I have said before, signifies, not the Essence, but the manhood of the Word; for if He says that He was created ‘for the works,’ He shews His intention of signifying, not His Essence, but the Economy which took place ‘for His works,’ which comes second to being.
（继续）如同我前面已经说过的，箴言中的经文并不是指道的素质，而是祂的人性；因为若祂（父）说祂（子）乃是为了‘作品（works）’被造，祂想要表明祂的动机并不是要表达祂的素质，而是那个‘为了祂作品的缘故’而随后产生的经纶（Economy）。
