philosopher_n than_o to_o a_o judicious_a divine_a for_o though_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n do_v ever_o subsist_v in_o his_o divine_a person_n from_o the_o time_n of_o the_o union_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o subsist_v in_o his_o divine_a person_n according_a to_o the_o order_n of_o natural_a cause_n but_o after_o the_o ineffable_a manner_n of_o the_o voluntary_a cause_n of_o which_o the_o
