WE confess that our Lord Jesus Christ, begotten of his Father before all worlds, but in the latter times conceived by the holy Ghost of the virgin Mary according to the flesh, is but one person, of the godhead & humane flesh subsisting Perfect God, & perfect man: perfect God even with the flesh, but not according to the flesh; perfect man even with the godhead, but not according to the Godhead. Wholly to be worshipped, even with the flesh but not according to the flesh: wholly worshipping, even with the godhead but not according to the godhead. […], even with the body, but not according to the body. Wholly formed, or endued ⟨p. 89⟩with shape & fashion, even with the divinity or godhead, but not according to the Divinity or godhead. Wholly coessential, that is of o•e and the self same nature together with God, even with the body, but not according to the body: as likewise he is not coessential to men according to his godhead, but being in his godhead he is coessential to us according to the […]. For when we say that he is consubstantial, or of the same nature together with the father according to the spirit, we say not that he is consubstantial with men according to the same spirit. And contrariwise when we preach that after the flesh he is consubstantial to men, we do not preach that according to the flesh he is coessential with god, for like as he is not coessential with us after the spirit (for so he is coessential with God) even so is he not according to the flesh coessential to God, but consubstantial with us. But […] pronounce these things to be different and […] between themselves, not to divide that oe undivided person, but to show a distinction between nature and properties of the word and the flesh, which can never be confounded: so we profess and reverence that unity, which causeth this indivisible union and composition.
