demanded by the present discussion. The Good is the principle on which
all depends, to which everything aspires, from which everything issues,

being complete, so He stands in need of nothing; He is the measure[161]
and the end of all things; and from Him spring intelligence, being,
soul, life, and intellectual contemplation.
