Answ. It's one thing to ask whether this be possible? and another, Whether it were done? It is indeed the greatest wonder of all the works of God, But there is no contradiction in it to prove it impossible. The God head was no whit really abased or changed by this Union, but at the utmost) relatively and reputatively only. ⟨p. 75⟩God did not become man, by ceasing to be God, •r committing the humane Nature with the Divine. But only assumed a humane nature to the Divine. It is not therefore as if a Prince should become an inferior Creature, but only as if he should assume such a Creature into so near a relation to him.
