acceptione conceptum ipsamque Carnem Verbi incarnatione conceptam Doe thou assuredly beleeue and make no scruple of it at all that the Flesh or Humanitie of Christ was not conceiued in the Virgins womb before it was assumed by the Word but that the very Word God himself was conceiued in the taking of his flesh and that his flesh was conceiued in the Incarnation of the Word m Aug.

Luther that embrace it but others also as Peter Martyr in his exposition vpon the Creede on those words Conceiued by the Holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary His words are these Spiritus Sanctus in eam sc Virginem descendit principali sua vi ex illius jam gratiâ purificato sanguine singularem perfectum Hominem creauit qui miraculosè fuit ab aeterno Sermone assumptus The Holy Ghost came downe vpon the Virgin and by his Operatiue power hauing now purified her blood by his Grace created an extraordinary singular and perfect Man which was miraculously assumed by the eternall Word The very selfe-same is deliuered by Amandus Polanus in Syntag. Theologico libro sexto cap. 14. which I forbeare for breuities sake to repeate vnto you neither may we maruaile seeing that the first Adam in a moment of the slime of the Earth was made by Gods power a man perfect and complete in all parts and faculties if that our Sauiour Christ the second and more excellent Adam was at the first moment of his conception made by the handyworke of God the Holy Ghost a perfect absolute man and not only perfect Man but perfect Christ that is King n Cyril lib. de Fide ad Theodosium in sine Aug. lib. 15. de Trin. ca. 26.

By one man sinne entred into the World and by Sinne Death and so death went ouer all men for so much as all men haue sinned If all men haue sinned then Christ for Christ is man and according to the flesh was in the loynes of Adam as all others were and therefore S. Luke fetcheth his pedegree frō Adam Luke 3. last Therfore it should seem that Christ was not quite free clean from all sinne To which I answer first by denying that all and euery one that were in Adam did sin in Adam or were guilty of Adams sin The guilt of Adams sin laid hold on such only as were in him both according to the substance of their flesh and also Secundum rationem Seminalem according to the carnall way of Propagation by which man is begotten of Man Of all such the Apostle speaketh when he saith By one man sinne entred into the World and went ouer all men namely ouer all that were begotten and born of Man and Woman But Christ was in Adam according to the substance of his flesh only but not according to the ordinary way of Generation for he was conceiued by the Holy Ghost and born of a pure Virgin who neuer knew man carnally therefore he sinned not in Adam But yet S. Paul saith Rom. 6. last Death is the stipend of sin but Christ suffred death Therefore it seemes that he was guilty of sinne otherwise death durst not haue arrested him I answer Death did not arrest him by any lawfull warrant or authoritie of her owne because He had no sin He might haue brought an action of false imprisonment against her but he voluntarily and of his owne accord went to Death and suffered it to attach him that he might set vs free from sinne and death So saith Esay 53.

I lay down my life that I may take it againe No man taketh it from me but I lay it downe of my selfe I haue power to lay it downe and I haue power to take it vp againe And therefore when he hangeth vpon the Crosse he staies not Deaths leasure till death come to take away his life but willingly and couragiously he meets him in the way and like a Champion that p Quantum voluit vixit quādo voluit tradidit spiritum Chrysost hom 104 Vide August Tract 120. in Ioann D.
