incarnation_n of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o therein_o consider_v first_o the_o union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n god_n and_o man_n in_o this_o mystery_n second_o the_o conception_n of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o nativity_n or_o birth_n of_o christ_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n in_o speak_v to_o the_o union_n i_o have_v four_o thing_n to_o go_v through_o withal_o first_o to_o show_v the_o several_a union_n in_o christ_n second_o the_o signification_n of_o this_o word_n person_n thirdl_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o union_n and_o last_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n and_o of_o the_o first_o thus_o much_o there_o be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n three_o union_n and_o ale-immediate_a first_o the_o union_n of_o the_o deity_n to_o the_o soul_n second_o the_o union_n of_o the_o deity_n to_o the_o body_n and_o three_o the_o union_n of_o body_n and_o soul_n together_o the_o two_o first_o werenot_v of_o nature_n nor_o of_o merit_n but_o whole_o supernatural_a and_o so_o not_o subject_a to_o separation_n by_o force_n of_o any_o nature_n all_o action_n or_o passion_n but_o the_o three_o be_v natural_a do_v leave_v a_o place_n for_o suffer_v and_o separation_n so_o that_o when_o christ_n suffer_v death_n the_o deity_n forsake_v neither_o soul_n nor_o body_n only_o the_o body_n be_v forsake_v by_o the_o soul_n the_o plurality_n of_o which_o substance_n and_o union_n notwithstanding_o christ_n must_v be_v consider_v but_o as_o one_o that_o be_v in_o person_n which_o word_n that_o you_o may_v understand_v aright_o know_v that_o it_o be_v derive_v a_o personando_fw-la which_o be_v distinct_a sound_n and_o be_v nothing_o else_o in_o logic_n but_o what_o a_o noun_n substantive_n proper_a of_o the_o singular_a number_n be_v in_o grammar_n that_o be_v one_o particular_a complete_a subsistence_n which_o logician_n call_v a_o individuum_fw-la but_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o person_n be_v a_o particular_a reasonable_a creature_n whereas_o a_o particular_a thing_n if_o it_o be_v unreasonable_a as_o a_o tree_n or_o horse_n etc._o etc._o be_v not_o call_v a_o person_n but_o by_o the_o school_n a_fw-la suppositum_fw-la and_o in_o this_o sense_n christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v one_o not_o in_o nature_n for_o so_o be_v no_o man_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n for_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n of_o man_n be_v of_o two_o different_a nature_n as_o well_o as_o fountain_n or_o beginning_n but_o in_o person_n wherein_o though_o there_o may_v be_v aliud_fw-la et_fw-la aliud_fw-la one_o and_o another_o thing_n yet_o there_o can_v be_v alius_fw-la and_o alius_fw-la one_o and_o another_o person_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n person_n now_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o this_o union_n we_o must_v know_v that_o thing_n be_v unite_v or_o make_v on_o many_o way_n as_o 1_o faedere_fw-la by_o a_o covenant_n as_o christ_n and_o the_o faithful_a and_o this_o may_v make_v one_o body_n but_o not_o one_o person_n 2._o by_o transmutation_n as_o snow_n and_o water_n but_o this_o make_v one_o substance_n as_o well_o as_o suppositum_fw-la but_o so_o be_v not_o christ_n 3._o by_o aggregation_n as_o many_o material_n unite_v make_v a_o house_n but_o this_o be_v violent_a and_o not_o voluntary_a as_o be_v christ_n 4._o by_o composition_n as_o body_n and_o soul_n make_v one_o man_n be_v unite_v but_o this_o be_v natural_a and_o so_o be_v not_o the_o union_n of_o the_o deity_n to_o the_o humanity_n in_o christ_n last_o therefore_o by_o assumption_n and_o this_o be_v singular_a proper_a to_o christ_n alone_o for_o the_o clear_a avoid_n of_o old_a and_o dangerous_a heresy_n and_o error_n which_o have_v rise_v about_o this_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n we_o conceive_v it_o not_o unnecessary_a to_o deal_v wary_o with_o those_o term_n and_o word_n which_o we_o borrow_v from_o the_o latin_n in_o express_v our_o mind_n in_o this_o matter_n such_o as_o be_v union_n assumption_n etc._n etc._n as_o in_o this_o nice_a and_o narrow_a sense_n to_o assume_v and_o to_o unite_v do_v equal_o belong_v to_o the_o same_o agent_n but_o to_o be_v unite_v and_o to_o be_v assume_v can_v be_v praedicat_v equal_o by_o the_o same_o subject_n concerning_o the_o former_a it_o will_v appear_v plain_o by_o and_o by_o for_o the_o latter_a the_o difference_n be_v thus_o to_o be_v unite_v may_v not_o unproper_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n and_o man_n in_o thus_o speak_v god_n be_v unite_v to_o man_n and_o man_n be_v unite_v to_o god_n and_o with_o this_o not_o a_o caviller_n will_v find_v fault_n but_o to_o say_v as_o on_o the_o one_o side_n true_o man_n be_v assume_v to_o and_o by_o god_n so_o on_o the_o other_o god_n be_v assume_v to_o or_o by_o man_n be_v erroneous_a in_o itself_o and_o dangerous_a in_o the_o consequent_n for_o relation_n we_o must_v allow_v to_o be_v in_o god_n if_o we_o acknowledge_v a_o trinity_n of_o person_n but_o suffer_v we_o dare_v not_o impute_v lest_o with_o it_o we_o make_v he_o also_o changeable_a now_o to_o be_v unite_v here_o be_v only_o a_o term_n of_o relation_n but_o to_o be_v assume_v be_v always_o a_o term_n of_o passion_n to_o assume_v and_o to_o be_v assume_v be_v word_n express_v do_v and_o suffer_v and_o in_o the_o present_a matter_n divide_v unto_o we_o god_n and_o man_n god_n the_o agent_n who_o part_n therefore_o
