 For He had already made man after His own image on the sixth day; and this work of His is unquestionably to be understood with reference to the rational soul of man.The same work He still does, not in creating what did not exist, but in multiplying what already existed.Wherefore it is true, on the one hand, that He rested from creating things which previously did not exist, and equally true, on the other hand, that He continues still to work, not only in governing what He has made, but also in making (not anything which did not previously exist, but) a larger number of those creatures which He had already made.
