of_o either_o of_o they_o remain_v whole_a and_o distinct_a but_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o these_o two_o nature_n be_v true_o and_o inseparablie_o join_v and_o unite_v into_o one_o

hold_v the_o essential_a property_n and_o operation_n of_o each_o of_o they_o distinct_a without_o all_o manner_n of_o confusion_n so_o that_o as_o the_o divine_a nature_n hold_v the_o property_n

both_o against_o eutyches_n and_o against_o macarius_n we_o therefore_o do_v always_o like_o well_o of_o that_o say_n of_o leo_n the_o first_o 4_o epi._n 10._o c._n 4_o write_v unto_o flavianus_n
