II. Christ the redeemer is true God and true man.

:242p. 55

We believe therefore Jesus Christ to be the only begotten son of God, ¹and so the son in nature consubstantial and coeternal to the father, and lastly true God almighty: also true man, of the true seed of Abraham and David, conceived without the help of a man, ²but only by virtue of the holy ghost, in the womb of the virgin, and without sin, and borne of her, endued with a true soul and a human mind, and made like unto us in all things, sin only excepted: so that he is true God of the substance of the father, ³begotten before all worlds, and true man of the substance of his mother, borne in the world.

We beleeue therefore Iesus Christ to be the onely begotten sonne of God, ¹and so the sonne in nature consubstantial and coeternall to the father, and lastlie true God almightie: also true man, of the true seed of Abraham and Dauid, conceiued vvithout the help of a man, ²but onlie by vertue of the holie ghost, in the vvombe of the virgine, and vvithout sinne, and borne of her, indued vvith a true soule and a humaine minde, and made like vnto vs in all thinges, sinne onelie excepted: so that he is true God of the substance of the father, ³begotten before all vvorldes, and true man of the substance of his mother, borne in the vvorld.
