13. In the person of Christ the Mediator two things are to be observed: the distinction; of the two natures, and the personal union of them.
13. In the person of Christ the Mediator two things are to be observed: the distinction; of the two natures, and the personall union of them.
14. The distinct natures are: the Divine nature, as it is the second person of the Deity, and the humane, in all things like to our natures (excepting sin, and the manner of subsisting) Matt. 1. 23. Emanuel, God with us, John 1. 14. That word was made flesh, &c. The distinction it self between those two natures remains: because they remain absolutely the same which they were before, as well touching their essence as all their essential properties: Hence neither the Deity in Christ with the humanity, nor the humanity with the deity is either changed, or mingled, or any way confounded.
