4 Wherefore, neither of the natures seuerally considered in it selfe, can be said to be the other. For you cannot truly say, that the Deitie of Christ, is his humanity; or that his humanity is his Deitie.

For this is no true assertion, to say, that the Deity was created, is finite; and contained within a place: Nor yet this; The humanity is without beginning, infinite, and immeasurable, or uncircumscribed in a place; or that it can be in many places at once, or every where, or yet any where indeed, any otherwaies, then as in a place.
