the_o nature_n of_o his_o flesh_n which_o be_v mortal_a and_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o not_o to_o die_v by_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o word_n which_o can_v die_v likewise_o by_o that_o

wonderful_a counion_n be_v not_o abolish_v in_o christ_n the_o confirmation_n follow_v by_o the_o life_n of_o christ_n because_o the_o lord_n jesus_n both_o by_o his_o say_n and_o deed_n do_v show_v that_o the_o propriety_n of_o both_o the_o nature_n remain_v safe_a and_o whole_a in_o he_o therefore_o he_o add_v 3_o to_o she_o we_o a_o extancie_n that_o be_v a_o existence_n of_o the_o propriety_n of_o they_o both_o in_o himself_o be_v one_o namely_o that_o the_o propriety_n of_o both_o the_o nature_n do_v exist_v distinct_a in_o he_o he_o speak_v and_o do_v thing_n of_o both_o nature_n himself_o be_v one_o this_o be_v also_o against_o eutyches_n but_o how_o namely_o so_o that_o
he_o show_v how_o these_o say_n and_o deed_n be_v not_o the_o action_n of_o two_o person_n but_o of_o one_o therefore_o against_o nestorius_n he_o also_o add_v not_o in_o make_v a_o diversity_n in_o

be_v agreeable_a and_o be_v proper_a to_o both_o the_o nature_n by_o these_o word_n we_o may_v perceive_v these_o two_o thing_n as_o clear_a as_o the_o noon_n day_n one_o that_o there_o be_v not_o

that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o both_o nature_n now_o who_o see_v not_o that_o the_o the_o thing_n which_o christ_n do_v according_a to_o one_o nature_n the_o same_o he_o do_v not_o according_a to_o

etc._n etc._n but_o we_o must_v wary_o mark_v his_o particle_n not_o only_o the_o affirmative_n but_o also_o the_o negative_n for_o he_o deny_v that_o a_o man_n see_v those_o thing_n with_o the_o

be_v partaker_n of_o death_n but_o this_o be_v common_a to_o he_o with_o his_o flesh_n in_o the_o person_n because_o the_o person_n which_o carry_v the_o flesh_n can_v die_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o

of_o the_o propriety_n for_o first_o he_o teach_v that_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o one_o nature_n be_v so_o proper_a unto_o itself_o that_o they_o be_v quite_o different_a from_o the_o other_o nature_n and_o so_o different_a that_o in_o their_o proper_a essence_n they_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v make_v common_a that_o be_v they_o can_v not_o be_v so_o real_o communicate_v that_o the_o

the_o propriety_n of_o each_o nature_n be_v proper_a unto_o christ_n because_o indeed_o it_o be_v proper_a unto_o he_o in_o himself_o for_o example_n in_o one_o nature_n to_o suffer_v and_o in_o his_o other_o not_o to_o be_v able_a to_o suffer_v so_o as_o this_o he_o have_v common_a with_o no_o other_o thing_n either_o in_o heaven_n or_o on_o earth_n or_o in_o himself_o for_o there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o himself_o that_o be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n and_o neither_o of_o the_o nature_n in_o he_o have_v also_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o other_o nature_n beside_o their_o own_o in_o their_o

nature_n both_o divine_a and_o human_a wherefore_o hereby_o be_v it_o manifest_v also_o which_o before_o be_v say_v of_o the_o communication_n for_o if_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o person_n of_o

to_o christ_n these_o he_o teach_v to_o be_v make_v common_a in_o themselves_o not_o indeed_o in_o the_o very_a nature_n themselves_o but_o in_o his_o person_n for_o example_n to_o suffer_v which_o
