Ob. Christ in respect of his body was in deed limited, weak, passible, & mortal in the time of his humiliation: because he did empty himself, & would not before his resurrection show forth that majesty which he imparted to his body.
Ob. Christ in respect of his bodie was in deed limited, weake, passible, & mortall in the time of his humiliation: because he did empty himselfe, & would not before his resurrection shew forth that maiestie which hee imparted to his bodie.
Ans. They do ill to interpret this emptying of concealing all his glory and majesty for the time wherein he took our nature upon him: whereas indeed it is to be understood of the divine nature of the word, as it vouchsafed to take upon it the shape of a servant, that is, the Mass of our nature, and would become man. Besides, it would follow that Christ did even then show forth the power & majesty communicated to his flesh, when he was truly subject to infirmity, and circumscribed by ⟨p. 200⟩his body: as which weeping he raised Lazarus, and being taken by the Jews, healed Malchus which was wounded by Peter. But what is it to fetch back the Marcionites from hell, or in the greatest mystery of religion to speak blasphemy, if this be not?
