In St. Theophilus, we read regarding God the Son
"For before anything came into being He had Him as a counsellor, being His own mind and thought. But when God wished to make all that He determined on, He begot this Word, uttered, the first-born of all creation, not Himself being emptied of the Word [Reason], but having begotten Reason, and always conversing with His Reason."
Question: do English-language Anglican writers of the last 500 years, or prior, ever use this term, the mind of God, for God the Son?
