How can you explain the full origin of creation in God?
We believe that the Father begot the Word, which is the wisdom by which everything is made, and is of the same unity, eternity and goodness; and that the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of the Father and the Son, and the same in being and eternity. Still these are united as one almighty God. The Holy Spirit may be called the holiness of both, or, more explicit, the goodness of both, although the Father and the Son are both holy and good.
So this is the origin of the City of God: God made it; the wise are by illumination from God; the happiness is from enjoying in God. It is, it sees, it loves: in God's eternity is its life; in God's truth its light; in God's goodness its joy.
