can_v there_o be_v no_o ground_n for_o imputation_n and_o so_o it_o can_v pass_v but_o by_o propagation_n mathe._n but_o how_o prove_v you_o christ_n soul_n not_o immediate_o create_v phila._n

and_o then_o he_o must_v be_v a_o mediator_n for_o himself_o which_o he_o can_v not_o be_v for_o a_o mediator_n be_v not_o a_o mediator_n of_o one_o phila._n you_o say_v true_a and_o have_v almost_o wound_v yourself_o out_o of_o this_o labyrinth_n for_o indeed_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o this_o conception_n do_v not_o cleanse_v christ_n nature_n from_o sin_n but_o do_v separate_v that_o substance_n which_o be_v not_o sinful_a from_o a_o sinful_a person_n for_o a_o person_n only_o be_v sinful_a substance_n be_v not_o now_o christ_n do_v not_o take_v her_o person_n but_o substance_n only_o leave_v the_o accident_n of_o sin_n which_o adher_v only_o to_o a_o person_n and_o so_o though_o christ_n nature_n be_v in_o adam_n and_o so_o in_o the_o virgin_n who_o be_v of_o that_o sinful_a line_n yet_o his_o person_n be_v in_o neither_o for_o he_o be_v the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n who_o in_o that_o instant_n that_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v conceive_v or_o separate_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o the_o bless_a virgin_n mary_n do_v assume_v it_o into_o himself_o to_o be_v one_o person_n and_o thus_o his_o nature_n can_v never_o be_v taint_v with_o original_a sin_n for_o his_o humane_a nature_n before_o that_o be_v never_o a_o person_n and_o when_o it_o be_v a_o person_n it_o be_v propagate_v not_o after_o the_o ordinary_a and_o natural_a way_n and_o so_o without_o sin_n nay_o more_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n though_o it_o be_v sinful_a subsist_v in_o the_o bless_a virgin_n person_n yet_o so_o it_o can_v not_o be_v christ_n because_o personality_n can_v be_v impart_v but_o it_o be_v make_v he_o by_o separation_n from_o she_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o his_o own_o immediate_a assumption_n and_o so_o great_a be_v
