15. The personall union, is that whereby the second person of the deity did take the humane nature, that it might inseparably subsist in the same person Iohn 1. 14.
16. For the second person of the deity although it have but one subsistence, yet i• hath a twofold way of subsisting: one in the Divine nature from eternity; another in the humane nature after the incarnation. Rom. 9. 5. Of whom is Christ, as touching the flesh, who is ⟨p. 82⟩above all, God blessed f•r ever, Amen. Which latter way of subsisting doth agree to the Son of God. In respect of the union which he hath with the humane nature.
17. This union to the divine person and nature, doth ad nothing, but a certain relation: but in the humane nature it maketh a change, whilst by this means it is elevated to highest perfection: for it is made as it we a proper adjunct of the Divine person by which it is assumed: as it were a member of the same whole God man. [Greek or Hebrew], whereof the divine nature is as it were another part: as touching the subsistence, it is made as it were an effect singularly upheld by the Divine nature: and also it is made as it were a subject wherein the Divine nature doth especially dwell.
