63. Question.
But why doest thou rather make mention ⟨image 56⟩of the flesh then of the Godhead in this conjunction or knitting together?
But why doest thou rather make mentiō ⟨image 56⟩of the flesh then of the Godheade in this coniunction or knitting togeather?
Answer. I do not this, as though the God. head did nothing here, when as contrariwise in very deed, the very flesh of Christ simply and considered in it self as it is flesh, doth not quicken us, but because as the Fathers very wittily speak, it is the flesh of the word. But in this I follow Christ the Master, expressly repeating the names of his flesh and blood in this mystery of our conjunction with him, because we cannot be joined with him, but by reason of his human nature, and inasmuch as he is our brother.
