In the Incarnation, the God-head was not turned into the Manhood, nor the Manhood into the God-head: but the God-head, as it is the second Person, or Word, assumed unto it the Manhood, that is the whole nature of man, body and soul; and all the natural properties ande infirmities thereof, sin excepted.
- eHeb. 3. 17, 18. Heb. 4. 15. Infirmitates merae privationis, non pravae dispositionis.
The second person took not upon him the fperson of man, but the nature of man. So that theg humane nature hath no personal subsistence of its own, (for then there should be two Persons in Christ;) but it subsisteth in the Word, the second Person. For, as the soul and body make but one person of Man; so the God-head and Manhood make but one Person of Christ.
