Although the Son is like the Father in essence, yet that which is begotten is not like the unbegotten, nor is that which proceeds. These properties which are contemplated in the divine nature are distinguished from what they share with one another. But the divinity is one in the three persons, as the veneration is one; and because of the idenity of nature the veneration is not at all made unequal by the difference in properties. - St. Theodore the Studite, On the Holy Icons, D, 7
