assumpsit_fw-la carnem_fw-la sed_fw-la filius_fw-la tantúm_fw-la so_o all_o divine_n will_v assent_v to_o this_o theological_a axiom_n divina_fw-la 30._o cassander_n fol._n 30._o natura_fw-la non_fw-la est_fw-la redemptrix_fw-la quia_fw-la pati_fw-la non_fw-la potuit_fw-la the_o pure_a and_o single_a divine_a nature_n can_v not_o be_v the_o redeemer_n because_o it_o can_v not_o suffer_v or_o die_v and_o we_o know_v that_o redemption_n be_v confine_v and_o limit_v so_o as_o to_o be_v only_o by_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n but_o the_o spirit_n or_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o the_o seed_n of_o the_o woman_n therefore_o god_n the_o son_n take_v on_o he_o that_o seed_n and_o that_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o therein_o he_o become_v our_o redeemer_n because_o thereby_o he_o become_v mortal_a and_o can_v suffer_v and_o die_v neither_o can_v the_o human_a nature_n of_o christ_n consider_v single_o and_o alone_o without_o his_o divine_a nature_n and_o by_o itself_o only_o have_v redeem_v we_o because_o no_o mere_a creature_n can_v possible_o be_v of_o sufficient_a worth_n to_o ransom_v the_o world_n or_o to_o satisfy_v divine_a justice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n 3._o a_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o other_o creature_n beside_o mankind_n have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o same_o spirit_n with_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n yet_o those_o other_o creature_n have_v no_o benefit_n by_o the_o incarnation_n and_o passion_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o bless_a angel_n be_v plentiful_o endow_v with_o the_o spirit_n yet_o because_o they_o be_v not_o unite_v with_o the_o flesh_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o can_v be_v capable_a of_o any_o benefit_n thereby_o or_o of_o redemption_n if_o need_n be_v more_o than_o the_o evil_n or_o apostate_n angel_n be_v because_o the_o son_n of_o god_n dit_fw-mi not_o assume_v the_o nature_n of_o angel_n nor_o 16._o heb._n 2._o 16._o do_v any_o angel_n assume_v the_o nature_n of_o man._n

6_o joel_n 2._o 28_o can_v not_o tell_v whether_o he_o shall_v go_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o god_n by_o his_o prophet_n have_v say_v i_o will_v pour_v out_o my_o spirit_n upon_o all_o flesh_n which_o be_v true_o perform_v not_o only_o on_o mankind_n but_o also_o on_o other_o inferior_a creature_n for_o by_o the_o virtue_n and_o vigour_n of_o the_o spirit_n they_o live_v and_o move_v and_o have_v their_o be_v yet_o 28._o act_n 17._o 28._o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o capable_a of_o the_o benefit_n or_o effect_n which_o come_v by_o the_o incarnation_n because_o they_o be_v not_o so_o unite_v with_o christ_n as_o our_o nature_n be_v for_o these_o reason_n i_o conceive_v it_o may_v appear_v that_o the_o eat_v or_o the_o union_n with_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o mean_v of_o receive_v only_o the_o spirit_n or_o of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n spiritual_o in_o that_o sense_n which_o be_v abovesaid_a 2._o second_o those_o word_n of_o eat_v spiritual_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n i_o conceive_v to_o signify_v such_o a_o kind_n of_o eat_v as_o be_v distinct_a and_o different_a from_o the_o literal_a or_o grammatical_a signification_n thereof_o and_o from_o any_o gross_a carnal_a or_o oral_a eat_n and_o that_o it_o signify_v to_o eat_v according_a to_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o intent_n purpose_n and_o true_a inward_a meaning_n and_o
