For whatsoever He willeth, must of necessity be ; and what He willeth not, it is impossible should be. There- fore of His free will alone, and because His will is ever good, out of mere goodness did He do this. For God wrought thus, not that He might in this manner, and no other accomplish the salvation of men ; but it was the nature of man that required it in this manner to make satisfaction to God. God had no need to suffer things so troublesome, but man had need thus to be reconciled to God.... God had no need of this humiliation, but man had need of being thus delivered out of the depths of hell. Now the divine nature neither needed humilia- tion or toil, nor was capable thereof. But human nature must suffer all this, that it might be restored to that -state for which it was created ; yet neither human nature nor aught that was less than God could be sufficient to this work. For man is not restored to that state for which he was made, if he be not advanced to be like unto the angels, in whom is no sin ; and this cannot be, except he have received remission of all sins, which may not be done, unless full satisfaction have been made for them.
