Consider the sun. Were
it to say now, "I am the sun of yesterday," it would speak the
truth. And should it, bearing the sequence of time in mind, claim to be
other than that sun, it still would speak the truth. In like manner, if
it be said that all the days are but one and the same, it is correct and
true. And if it be said, with respect to their particular names and designations,
that they differ, that again is true. For though they are the same, yet
one doth recognize in each a separate designation, a specific attribute,
a particular character. Conceive accordingly the distinction, variation,
and unity characteristic of the various Manifestations of holiness, that
thou mayest comprehend the allusions made by the Creator of all names
and attributes to the mysteries of distinction and unity, and discover
the answer to thy question as to why that everlasting Beauty should have,
at sundry times, called Himself by different names and titles....
