Now if we add that, which the same Vigilius left in writing out of the common consent of the whole church book 4. chap. 4. this doctrine, which we showed even now out of him, will more plainly appear. For disputing against the Monophysites (defenders of one nature) he plainly proveth, by the divers proprieties, which were seen in one & the same Christ, and which the holy Scriptures do speak of, that the word and the flesh cannot be in him all one nature: he bringeth a reason, because one nature cannot receive in it self any thing ⟨p. 365⟩that is contrary & divers: besides other things he also writeth thus: Moreover if there be but one nature of the word and of the flesh, how can it be but that the word being in all places, the flesh must be found in all places too? For doubtless when it was on earth, then was it not in heaven, & now being in heaven, it is not likewise on earth: yea it is so far from being on earth, as that according to it, we look for Christ to come down from heaven, whom according to the word we believe to be with us on earth. Therefore according to your opinions: either the word with his flesh is contained within one place: or the flesh with the word is in all places: whereas one nature cannot receive in it self any contrary or divers things. But it is very contrary and far different, to be circumscribed or contained in one place, and, to be every where: and seeing the word is every where, and the flesh is not every where: it appeareth that one & the same Christ is of both natures: and that he is every where, according to the nature of his divinity, and is contained in a place, according to the nature of his humanity: that he hath been created, and hath no beginning: that he hath died, and hath not bin able to dye: the one he hath by the nature of the word, whereby he is God: the other by the nature of the flesh, whereby the same God is man. Wherefore, this one the son of God, & the same made the son of man, hath a beginning, by the nature of his flesh, and hath no beginning ⟨p. 366⟩by the nature of his divinity: he was created, by the nature of his flesh, and was not created, by the nature of his divinity: he is circumscribed, by the nature of his flesh, and is not contained within place, by the nature of his divinity:

Now if we add that, which the same Vigilius left in writing out of the common consent of the whole church booke 4. chap. 4. this doctrine, which we shewed euē now out of him, will more plainely appeare. For disputing against the Monophysites (defenders of one nature) he plainely prooueth, by the diuers proprieties, which were seene in one & the same Christ, and which the holy Scriptures do speak of, that the word and the flesh cannot bee in him all one nature: he bringeth a reason, because one nature cannot receiue in it selfe any thing
