        What can seem less connected with baptism than the episcopal ring? Remove back to the ages of allegory, and it will be found that the bishop, like Saint Paul, was animated with a godly jealousy to espouse the church as a chaste virgin to Christ: for as St. Jerom most supercelestially describes him, the bishop is the organ of the omnipotence of Christ (8).

        [...] the science and knowledge of God, as well as of the separated substances, of the spiritual world, and of its secrets. Such knowledge cannot be acquired by exterior senses, nor by experience, reason, demonstration, syllogism, study or any other human and logical means, but only by faith, by illumination and celestial revelation which moves the free will to believe that which is inspired and to know the aforesaid secrets by the holy and written law of God and also by the figures, names, numbers, symbols, and other ways divinely and supercelestially given and revealed to the fathers, patriarchs, prophets, and doctors of the Hebrews on the divine law.

        There is a Monad, states Alain’s first rule. Supercelestially there is unity, subcelestially, plurality. The Monad as Unity produces another, Equality; the union of Unity and Equality constitutes the Third Person of the Trinity. God is alpha and omega, but they are not parts of Him; God as uncompound is single; He is an intelligible circle whose centre is everywhere and whose boundary is nowhere.
