2 This person, being from all eternity, by the natural begetting of the father, is proper unto the word: but in time was made common to the human nature taken to it, by virtue of the personal union.
2 This person, being from all eternitie, by the naturall begetting of the father, is proper vnto the word: but in time was made common to the humaine nature taken to it, by vertue of the personall vnion.
For in the word, the essence which it hath common yea the very same with the father & the holy ghost, is to be distinguished from the proper manner of subsisting, whereby it comes to pass, that it is a certain Hypostasis or person, distinct from the father and the holy ghost: and therefore is and is called the Hypostasis or person proper to the son or to the word.
For in the word, the essence which it hath common yea the verie same with the father & the holie ghost, is to bee distinguished from the proper manner of subsisting, whereby it comes to passe, that it is a certaine Hypostasis or person, distinct from the father and the holie ghost: and therefore is and is called the Hypostasis or person proper to the sonne or to the worde.
But this eternal Hypostasis, proper by nature unto the word, is by this union made common, as we said with the divine nature and the human taken unto it: namely that the word doeth no less subsist really in this human ⟨p. 286⟩form than it doth in that divine form: & in that respect is no less true and perfect man, then true and perfect god: yet the natures, properties and actions remaining safe and distinct.
