The governance of virtue teaching all faithful christia[n]s, how they ought daily to lead…The gouernaunce of vertue teaching all faythful christia[n]s, how they oughte daily to leade…

☞ Again he saith in all things it became him ⟨p. 30⟩to be made like unto his brethren. Here saint Paul confesseth that Christ was made like unto us in all things, which thing by no means could be true, if he had not taken upon him our nature and substance. If he belike unto us in all things (sin alone except) so followeth it that he is of the same nature, & of the same flesh and blood that we are, or else could not he be like unto us in all things. And so should this holy apostle and all other godly writers and teachers have brought us in error. But let god be true and all heretics liars.

☞ Agayne he saith in all things it became hym ⟨p. 30⟩to be made lyke vnto hys bretherne. Here saint Paule confesseth that Christ was made like vn to vs in all thynges, which thyng by no meanes could be true, yf he had not taken vpon him our nature and substaunce. If he belyke vnto vs in all thynges (sinne alone excepte) so followeth it that he is of the same nature, & of the same fleshe and bloud that we are, or els could not he be like vnto vs in all thynges. And so should thys holy apostle and al other godly writers and teachers haue brought vs in errour. But let god be true and all heretikes lyers.

☞ Now have we learned both truly and fully of the holy scriptures, which are infallible verities, that Christ was conceived by the holy ghost and borne of the Virgin Mary. By the which word (of) we believe that he toke his humanity of her substance, and had none other beginning as touching his humanity than in her and of her, by the operation of the holy ghost: so that we may truly conclude, that as Christ is very God of God the father without a mother, so is he very man of Mary his mother without any Father. Therefore may his God head be as justly denied, as his manhood and flesh taking of the blessed virgin Mary. But Christ abideth very god and very man whatsoever the wicked heretics able. Cursed therefore be Cerdo, Marcian and Manes, which taught that christ appeared as man, and yet had no part of true manhood in him, but only had a fantastical body.
