St. Hippolytus, Bishop and Martyr, in his Homily on the Paschal Supper.

He was altogether [1847] in all, and everywhere; and though He filleth the universe up to all the principalities of the air, He stripped Himself again. And for a brief space He cries that the cup might pass from Him, with a view to show truly that He was also man. [1848] But remembering, too, the purpose for which He was sent, He fulfils the dispensation (economy) for which He was sent, and exclaims, "Father, not my will," [1849] and, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." [1850]
