second_o question_n be_v how_o far_o forth_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v flesh_n i_o answer_v three_o thing_n the_o first_o that_o he_o take_v unto_o he_o the_o whole_a and_o perfect_a nature_n of_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o essence_n namely_o the_o entire_a substance_n of_o a_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o humane_a body_n here_o remember_v that_o quantity_n that_o be_v length_n breadth_n and_o

life_n sense_n motion_n the_o faculty_n of_o reason_n will_n and_o affection_n the_o three_o be_v that_o he_o take_v to_o he_o the_o infirmity_n and_o misery_n of_o man_n nature_n here_o two_o caveat_n must_v be_v remember_v the_o first_o that_o he_o take_v to_o he_o only_o such_o infirmity_n as_o be_v mere_a infirmity_n and_o no_o sin_n for_o example_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n

person_n of_o man_n as_o dropsy_n gout_n consumption_n and_o such_o like_a for_o he_o take_v not_o the_o person_n of_o any_o man_n but_o the_o nature_n of_o all_o man_n with_o all_o the_o

of_o fear_n one_o be_v without_o all_o sin_n this_o be_v in_o adam_n and_o in_o christ._n the_o second_o be_v altogether_o sinful_a in_o the_o wicked_a and_o ungodly_a because_o it_o be_v sever_v

if_o you_o be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n you_o be_v abolish_v from_o christ_n first_o i_o gather_v that_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n be_v not_o one_o in_o substance_n of_o doctrine_n as_o
