The 11. aphorism. That same whole Christ &c.
The 11. aphorisme. That same whole Christ &c.
Here in the first part to the name of Christ, is added the son of man: in the other part, the son of God, God: that we might show, how that divine attributes are spoken of Christ the man: and human, of Christ God: seeing the very person of Christ is meant in either part. For the same Christ, one and the same person, ⟨p. 283⟩is whole God, & whole man, though not wholly (as Damascene speaketh) for in two distinct natures he subsisteth one and the very same. This doth Damascene thus declare lib. 3. cap. 7. The whole Christ is perfect God; but the whole subsistence of Christ, is not only God; for it is not only God but also man. And the whole Christ is perfect man, but the whole subsistence of Christ is not only man; for it is not only man but also God. For the whole subsistence doth represent the nature; but whole Christ, the person.
