1. Esteem we not the worse, but the better of Christ, that he made himself the Son of man. Let him not lose any part of his honour, because he abased himself for us. He that took our aflesh, is also over all, GOD blessed for ever, Amen. There is more in him then humanity: not alia persona, but alia natura: not another person, but another nature. Though he be verus homo, he is not merus homo. ⟨p. 291⟩And even that Man, that was crucified on a cross, and laid in a grave, is more high then the heavens, more holy then the Angels.
