Now from the person of Christ, and his natures, and the union of the natures, to pass over peculiarly to his actions and his office: First we believe, that as there are two true natures in Christ, whereof each hath had and hath her true and essential proprieties, coupled together, even as the natures are also united, but not confounded together: so there are two kinds of actions, which our Lord Jesus Christ is said partly to have performed, and partly will yet perform for our salvation: some whereof proceed from his deity, and some from his humanity: and the same partly have bin, & partly are so joined together, and yet distinct that each of their forms (as Leo speaketh) always worketh with communion of the other, The word, performing those things which are of the word, and the flesh, those things which pertain to the flesh. Moreover, as those things which Christ did and doeth by virtue of his divine nature, were true and not feigned deeds, (for he truly reconciled us to his father, he truly forgiveth sins, & truly sanctifieth, and regenerateth.) So whatsoever ⟨p. 70⟩we read that he did or suffered for us according to his humanity, we believe that he did and suffered all those things truly and indeed, and not only in a vain show and (as some speak) an appearance only.

Now from the person of Christ, and his natures, and the vnion of the natures, to passe ouer peculiarly to his actions and his office: First we beleeue, that as there are two true natures in Christ, whereof each hath had and hath her true and essentiall proprieties, coupled together, euen as the natures are also vnited, but not confounded together: so there are two kinds of actions, which our Lord Iesus Christ is said partlie to haue performed, and partlie wil yet performe for our saluatiō: some wherof proceed from his deitie, and some from his humanitie: and the same partlie haue bin, & partly are so ioyned together, and yet distinct that each of their formes (as Leo speaketh) alwaies worketh with communiō of the other, The word, performing those thinges which are of the worde, and the flesh, those thinges which pertaine to the flesh. Moreouer, as those thinges which Christ did and doeth by vertue of his diuine nature, were true and not fained deeds, (for he truelie reconciled vs to his father, he truelie forgiueth sinnes, & truely sanctifieth, and regenerateth.) So whatsoeuer
