and it is in me not to hear words with my eyes, and in me not to see light with my ears: in me not to judge of tastes with my nose, and in me not to perceive smelling at my mouth. And whereas it is wholly mine own propriety in my self, to see, to hear, to smell, to taste: and yet it is one thing in me whereby I see, another whereby I hear, another whereby I taste or smell: and all this being in me wholly, and yet in a certain private respect divided and divers: I my self notwithstanding cannot be divided or separated: So therefore Christ himself also, being one and the same, created, and not created; having beginning, & being without beginning: growing in age & understanding, and receiving no increase of age and understanding: suffering death, & not yielding to the laws of death: receiving honour for his desert, yet having need of no mans honour: and all these things being divers in him, yet are merely proper unto himself: And therefore he divideth not in himself, the words, affects, and deeds, agreeable both ways in himself: because both are properly his own: yet having one propriety by the nature of the word, which remaining God, he lost not: and another by the nature of the flesh, which, being made man, he received.
