The same origin...

The difference between the divine and the human will is like the difference between the trunk of a tree and its branches.

As from the boughs other twigs and branches spring, so the will of one powerful individual has branches going through the will of other individuals.

So there are the powerful beings, the masters of humanity.

Their will is God’s will, their word is God’s word, and yet they are branches, because the trunk is the will of the Almighty.

Whether the branch be large or small,

every branch has the same origin and the same root as the stem.
