Propositions and principles of divinity propounded and disputed in the university of Geneva, by certain students of divinity there, under M. Theod. Beza, and M. Anthony Faius ... Wherein is contained a methodical summary, or epitome of the common places of divinity. Translated out of Latin into English, to the end that the causes, both of the present dangers of that Church, and also of the troubles of those that are hardly dealt with else-where, may appear in the English tongue.Propositions and principles of diuinitie propounded and disputed in the vniuersitie of Geneua, by certaine students of diuinitie there, vnder M.

12 The Divinity notwithstanding, which was personally united unto the humanity that was assumed, did not depart therefrom in the time of the passion; but it so far with held it self in not showing the force thereof, until that his soul did unspeakably apprehend and feel the wrath of God, then the which nothing can be imagined more horrible; the burden whereof, he had never been able to sustain, unless at the last, he had been strengthened to gain the victory by the same Deity of the word.
12 The Diuinitie notwithstanding, which was personally vnited vnto the humanitie that was assumed, did not depart therefrom in the time of the passion; but it so farre with helde it selfe in not shewing the force thereof, vntill that his soule did vnspeakablie apprehende and feele the wrath of God, then the which nothing can bee imagined more horrible; the burthen whereof, he had neuer bene able to sustaine, vnlesse at the last, he had bene strengthened to gaine the victorie by the same Deitie of the word.
13 Jesus Christ then, to speak properly, suffered in his body and in his soul; yet notwithstanding, we may truly and Christianly say, that the Lord of glory was crucified, dead, &c. not that the Deity did suffer, (for the Divinity is imparible) but that this body and this soul, is the proper body and the proper soul of the WORD.
13 Iesus Christ then, to speake properly, suffered in his bodie and in his soule; yet notwithstanding, we may trulie and Christianlie say, that the Lorde of glory was crucified, dead, &c. not that the Deitie did suffer, (for the Diuinitie is imparible) but that this bodie and this soule, is the proper body and the proper soule of the WORD.
We do detest therefore, both the open Eutychians, who as they confound the proprieties and the natures: so they hold, that the Deity did suffer; & also the close and secret Eutychians, who are compelled in deed to confess, that the Deity did not suffer, but yet do hold, that the communicating of the proprieties of the Godhead and the Manhood, are real; even in respect of the natures them selves, and therefore, that the WORD in respect of it self, did suffer some thing.
