6 Therefore God the Father, mooued by his vnspeakeable mercie, would haue that onelie Sonne of his, Coessentiall and Coaeternal with him (as he had promised vnto the Fathers, when Sin first entered into the world) at the time appointed, to become true man, who, as beeing true God and true man, without any confusion of the two natures, might reconcile men with God.
