XXV. BOOK I. CH. VI. § 7.

[The first of all is God, and the same last is He.]

[_]

Id. Fragm. vi. from Proclus.

The first of all is God, and the same last is He.
God is the head and midst; yea, from Him all things be.
God is the base of earth and of the starred sky;
He is the male and female too; shall never die.
The spirit of all is God; the sun and moon and what is higher;
The king, the original of all, of all the end:
For close in holy breast He all did comprehend;
Whence all to blessed light His wondrous power did send.
