( 3 ) Therefore , of the two Beings which are eternal , as being unborn and unmade - - God and Matter - - by reason of the identical mode of their common condition ( both of them equally possessing that which admits neither of diminution nor subjection - - that is , the attribute of eternity ) , we affirm that neither of them is less or greater than the other , neither of them is inferior or superior to the other ; but that they both stand on a par in greatness , on a par in sublimity , and on the same level of that complete and perfect felicity of which eternity is reckoned to consist . [ 404 ] The desert , like the ocean , has its grandeur and sublimity , and leaves the meditating mind alone with God and eternity . And yet such also is the condition of Matter.67 Therefore , of the two Beings which are eternal , as being unborn and unmade-God and Matter-by reason of the identical mode of their common condition ( both of them equally possessing that which admits neither of diminution nor subjection-that is , the attribute of eternity ) , we affirm that neither of them is less or greater than the other , neither of them is inferior or superior to the other ; but that they both stand on a par in greatness , on a par in sublimity , and on the same level of that complete and perfect felicity of which eternity is reckoned to consist . We will thrill to the adventure , savor the sublimity , and relish the language of this magnificent epic .
