Quis ita vestem deponit quando voluerit sicut Iesus mortuus est quando voluit Who euer laid aside his garment so when hee would as Christ stript himselfe out of his flesh when he had a will so to doe Quis ita cum voluerit abijt quomodo Christus cùm voluerit obijt Who so willingly departed any whither as Christ out of this world when he saw his time according to that prediction of Esay Oblatus est quia voluit whereof S. Bernard giues the reason Ipse oblatio offerens He was the Priest and the Host the sacrifice and the Sacrificer Natus est and datus est passus est and mortuus est no reason of his birth and death but his charity that made him will his will answerable to his charitie In the u Psal 40.8 40 Psalme Sacrifice and burnt offering thou wouldst not haue but a body hast thou ordayned me which latter clause though it answer not the Originall yet the * 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Septuagint so translate it the Apostle to the x Heb. 10 5.

Domini Leo like vnto vs in nature for whom he suffered vnlike vnto vs in sinfull nature for which he suffered The Deity was impatible no passion no sorrow no griefe could fasten vpon the Godhead the sting of death could not pierce the diuine substance God could not suffer could not be wounded could not be nayled to the Crosse could not dye b Cum mortis aculeum non possit accipere natura Deitatis suscepit tamen nascendo c. Leo ser 8. de Passione therefore suscepit ex nobis quod possit offerre pro nobis He tooke that of vs that hee might offer for vs a body capable of the Crosse of the passions vpon the Crosse of the death of the Crosse He tooke it and he offered it like vnto the Moone acceptam refero all the light receiued from the Sunne by reflection shee communicates vnto vs inferiour creatures Verbum caro factum est the Word was made flesh there he tooke it and that fl●sh w●nt the way of all fl●sh for hee died and so offered a body that might and did suffer a body that might and did dye vpon the Crosse His natiuitie was praeludium passionis a passage to his passion Borne hee was that hee might liue liue that he might worke worke that he might suffer suffer that he might die die that we might liue and be borne againe and so came he from heauen to the wombe from the wombe to the Cratch from the Cratch to the Crosse from the Crosse to the graue And thus 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 was turned into 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a body into a dead body He died for vs. And though by death Christs body was without soule yet not without God Vnio naturarum indissolubilis The soule for a time was parted from the body The Godhead neuer was distracted either from soule or body The dissolution was in one of the natures not of the natures for if the natures had beene diuided there had beene a double subsistence and so by consequence a double person which was the Heresie of Nestorius The Godhead is wedded to the Humanitie without all possibilitie of diuorce Our Sauiours soule in his Agonie felt not the presence of the Godhead yet non soluit vnionem though subtraxit visionem Leo. the vision was eclipsed the diuine vnion was not dissolued The bodie in the graue enioyes not the soule yet though the soule departed the vnion was not parted The passion of Christ saith S. Austen was the sleepe of his Diuinitie and by the like proportion may I say The death of Christ was the sleep of his Humanitie yet here 's the difference In the passion the Humanitie was forsaken of the Deity but apparently the body of the soule really Life was separated yet the Hypostasis remained So great is the vnion betwixt God and man Vt nec supplicio possit dirimi nec morte distingui Leo. That neither death nor passions could breake it asunder The Schoolemen obserue that there is Vnum per vnitatem and vnum per vnionem The Father and the Sonne are one by consubstantiall vnitie God and man are one by Hypostaticall vnion In the Father and the Son there is alius alius not aliud and aliud a personall difference but a naturall vnity In Christ there is aliud and aliud not alius and alius a naturall distinction but a personall vnion The Godhead in one act assumed the Manhood both soule and body and as vna est assumptio so vna est vnio the vnion is but one by vertue whereof he is vnited to soule and body For a demonstration hereof Bonauenture c Bonav in 3. Sent. dist 21. obserues in that vnion three things 1. Actio vnibilis 2. passio vnibilis and 3. relatio vnibilis the first is whereby God assumed man so the Word was made flesh the second whereby the humanity subsisteth in the Deity the third as there is a double relation had to soule and body So Christ is vnited by one act but yet by a double relation to soule and body double in power in the assumption of the humanity double in act in the dissolution of the humane nature Thus we see the body without a soule by death but not without the Godhead disiointed not disunited dissolued in nature not diuorced in person So we haue seene the body made a carkas let vs now see the collection the gathering together Foure things in Christ to vs are very obseruant 1. his calling 2. his
