What can more fitly be said for the deciding of this present controversy, of the real communication of the proprieties? For this whole treatise of Vigilius is resolved into these special propositions, pertaining to our cause. For setting first down a rule of the ⟨p. 356⟩catholic faith, which in the text is marked with the letter A: then from the same he draweth certain positions, by which he manifestly confuteth the heresy of Eutyches. The sum of that rule of faith, is this: that one and the same Christ, is God and man: & both natures are kept whole in him. Out of this rule Vigilius gathered these positions.
