Origen against Celsus, l. 1. Celsus, saith Origen, thinks there is no other Divinity in the Humane Body which Christ carried about, than in Homer's Fictitious Fables; we affirm he doth consist of the Humane together with the Divine Nature. In another Book against Celsus: 1In that we do sharply accuse the Jews, that they did not believe their own Prophets, who in many places did testify that he is God, God and Father of all. Several other places I have noted in Origen.

Tertullian, De Carne Christi, acknowledgeth Christ hath two Substances. And again in the same Book against Marcion, he asserts the Divine and Humane Nature of Christ. In his Book concerning the Trinity, and his Book against Praxeas, he clearly holds forth, that Christ was God and man.
Cyprian thus, Jesus Christ God, and our Lord; 1though the Son of God did not despise to take the flesh of man: Though immortal, suffered himself to be made mortal. In his second Book against the Jews, he brings several Scriptures to prove Christ to be God and man.
