Tertullian,
Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. III, Anti-Marcion…
(1885)
“ This has inherent in itself a consubstantial force, which it calls Unity [6] These powers, accordingly, Solitude or Solitariness, and Unity, or Union, propagated all the other emanations of Æons. [7] Wonderful distinction, to be sure! Whatever change Union and Unity may undergo, Solitariness and Solitude is profoundly supreme. Whatever designation you give the power, it is one and the same. ”
