but_o one_o and_o not_o two_o subsistent_a person_n but_o when_o the_o nestorian_n say_v that_o there_o be_v two_o nature_n in_o christ_n they_o mean_v that_o either_o nature_n make_v a_o several_a

person_n or_o one_o man_n but_o when_o the_o nestorian_n say_v that_o christ_n be_v one_o person_n they_o mean_v not_o of_o that_o unity_n which_o be_v by_o natural_a or_o personal_a subsistence_n

of_o god_n 13._o when_o catholic_n call_v jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n they_o mean_v true_o and_o orthodoxal_o that_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n who_o take_v flesh_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v
