- 1Chrisostom. ad Caesarium Monachum.
When thou speakest of God, thou must consider a thing that in nature is single without composition, without conversion that is invisible, immortal, incircumscriptible, incomprehensible with such like. And when thou speakest of man thou meanest a nature that is weak, subject to hunger, thirst, weeping, fear, sweating, and such like passions, which can not be in the divine nature. And when thou speakest of Christ, thou joinest two natures together in one person, who is both passible and impassible: Passible as concerning his flesh, and impassible in his deity.
