opposite_a property_n shall_v combine_v into_o one_o person_n or_o that_o two_o nature_n each_o whereof_o be_v apt_a to_o constitute_v a_o several_a person_n shall_v be_v unite_v into_o one_o person_n i_o answer_v first_o that_o be_v neither_o strange_a impossible_a nor_o as_o our_o adversary_n say_v repugnant_a to_o sound_v reason_n that_o two_o substance_n endue_v with_o opposite_a property_n shall_v combine_v into_o one_o person_n for_o the_o soul_n be_v immortal_a and_o the_o body_n mortal_a yet_o these_o do_v so_o combine_v that_o they_o constitute_v one_o person_n again_o the_o soul_n be_v not_o only_o apt_a to_o constitute_v but_o be_v real_o a_o person_n according_a to_o the_o platonist_n if_o a_o person_n be_v a_o singular_a substance_n endue_v with_o reason_n before_o its_o entrance_n into_o the_o body_n for_o if_o each_o soul_n do_v subsist_v by_o itself_o many_o thousand_o year_n before_o its_o body_n it_o can_v not_o be_v say_v to_o be_v part_n of_o a_o man_n before_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o a_o nature_n which_o be_v not_o only_o apt_a but_o real_o constitute_v a_o person_n may_v be_v unite_v to_o another_o nature_n as_o that_o both_o shall_v constitute_v one_o person_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n therefore_o in_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v two_o person_n and_o so_o consequent_o two_o christ_n for_o as_o the_o reasonable_a soul_n and_o flesh_n be_v one_o man_n so_o god_n and_o man_n be_v one_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v false_a what_o our_o adversary_n say_v that_o the_o similitude_n hold_v not_o because_o according_a to_o we_o christ_n be_v both_o god_n and_o man_n but_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v so_o conjoin_v that_o a_o man_n be_v neither_o soul_n nor_o body_n for_o he_o be_v both_o thus_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o man_n and_o woman_n say_v so_o many_o soul_n be_v add_v to_o the_o faith_n and_o the_o common_a speech_n be_v thus_o be_v there_o any_o body_n or_o there_o be_v no_o body_n mean_v none_o of_o mankind_n in_o such_o or_o such_o a_o place_n but_o if_o they_o will_v not_o the_o platonist_n pre-existence_n of_o soul_n which_o i_o as_o answerer_n be_o not_o oblige_v to_o prove_v but_o they_o to_o disprove_v yet_o according_a to_o the_o common_a opinion_n that_o two_o person_n can_v combine_v there_o be_v no_o fear_n there_o shall_v be_v two_o person_n in_o christ_n for_o nothing_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o person_n as_o your_o own_o definition_n of_o a_o person_n intimate_v by_o the_o word_n individual_a unless_o it_o actual_o exist_v but_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n never_o exist_v but_o in_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n it_o be_v true_a if_o the_o humane_a nature_n have_v be_v individuate_v and_o subsist_v of_o itself_o before_o it_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n there_o may_v have_v be_v some_o show_n of_o a_o objection_n but_o this_o they_o know_v be_v not_o admit_v how_o then_o can_v christ_n be_v say_v to_o be_v more_o than_o one_o person_n since_o the_o son_n of_o man_n subsist_v only_o in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n what_o hinder_v then_o that_o a_o person_n may_v be_v so_o unite_v to_o another_o person_n which_o if_o it_o shall_v subsist_v of_o itself_o will_v be_v a_o person_n that_o they_o both_o be_v one_o only_a person_n since_o the_o one_o subsist_v in_o the_o other_o and_o have_v no_o proper_a subsistence_n of_o its_o own_o but_o it_o will_v be_v sufficient_a in_o short_a to_o say_v rem_fw-la scimus_fw-la modum_fw-la
