" Ibid. , V. 12. 44 DEVELOPMENT OF TRINITARIAN DOCTRINE for while ' procession ' is not necessary to the idea of God as such, it is of the very nature of Spirit to 'pro- ceed. ' The Nicene Creed, held with the 'Filioque' clause, and apart from the Symbolum Qiiicunque, is like a bridge springing from one side of a ravine, which should rest upon no corresponding support on the other side. From the scientific point of view the phrase could in that case be regarded only as a frag- ment, as superflu...ous to the earlier statement upon which (to change the simile) it was grafted. It is only when the doctrine of the Quiciinqtie is taken into view that the real significance as well as the logical neces- sity of the 'Filioque' clause becomes apparent. In this connection, it is an interesting as well as a signi- ficant fact that the language of the Quicitnque Vult does not necessarily raise the question involved in the 'Filioque' clause. The Greeks objected to the pre- position c'f, which indicates 'source' or 'origin, ' as expressing the relation of the Holy Spirit to the Son.
