Now of this which hath been said of the divers Subjects & Predicates, there followeth a diversity also of Predication. Every Predication therefore of Christ is either proper and simple, or else improper and figurative.
Nowe of this which hath beene saide of the diuers Subiects & Praedicats, there followeth a diuersitie also of Praedicatiō. Euery Praedication therefore of Christ is either proper and simple, or els improper and figuratiue.

The proper and simple Predication falleth two ways; one is, when those things which are proper to one nature, they are predicated or said of the person of Christ, being expressed by a name either denominated of the same nature, or proper to the person: as, this our God, ⟨p. 429⟩or Christ is omnipotent, and every where present: also, this man, or Christ, suffered and died. The other is, when such things as are proper to the whole person, they are said also of the whole person signified by a name, that containeth both the natures: such as these are that belong to the office of a mediator, and the honour of an head: as: Christ, Immanuel, God incarnate, redeemed us, sanctified us, saved us, is a King, to be worshipped: which are said therefore to be proper to the person, because they can be severally applied to neither of the natures. Now all such be proper and simple propositions: because in all which are of the same kind, the Predicates be coupled with the Subjects in all those things which are of the very same kind.
