But because no creature, in that he is only a creature, hath or may have power to destroy death, and give life, to overcome hell, and purchase heaven, to remit sins, and give righteousness: therefore it was needful, that our Messias, whose proper duty and office that ⟨p. 351⟩was, should be not only full and perfect man, but also full and perfect GOD, to the intent he might more fully and perfectly make satisfaction for mankind. God saith, This is my well beloved 1Son in whom I am well pleased. By which place we learn, that Christ appeased and quenched the wrath of his father, not in that he was only the Son of man: But much more in that he was the Son of God.

- 1Matth. 3.
Thus ye have heard declared out of the scriptures, that Jesus Christ was the true Messiah and saviour of the world, that he was by nature & substance perfect God, and perfect man, and for what cause it was expedient he should be so. Now that we may be the more mindful and thankful unto God in this behalf, let us briefly consider and call to mind, the manifold and great benefits that we have received by the Nativity and birth of this our Messiah and saviour.
