First, The two natures being thus united in the person of the mediator, by virtue thereof the properties of each nature are attributed and do truly agree to the whole person: so that it's proper to say the Lord of glory was crucified, 1. Cor. 2.8. ⟨image 45⟩And the blood of God redeemed the Church, Acts 20.28. That Christ was both in heaven, and in earth at the same time, Joh. 3.13.
First, The two natures being thus united in the person of the mediator, by vertue thereof the properties of each nature are attributed and do truly agree to the whole person: so that it's proper to say the Lord of glory was crucified, 1. Cor. 2.8. ⟨image 45⟩And the blood of God redeemed the Church, Acts 20.28. That Christ was both in heaven, and in earth at the same time, Ioh. 3.13.
Yet,1 we do not believe that one nature doth transfuse or impart its properties to the other, or that it is proper to say the Divine nature Suffered, Bled, or Dyed; or the humane is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent: but that the properties of both natures, are so ascribed to the person; that it is proper to affirm any of them of him in the concrete, though not abstractly. the right understanding of this would greatly assist in reaching the true sense of the forenamed, and many other dark passages in the Scriptures.
