1. That it is not absolutely infinite and essentially divine Glory, This cannot be communicated unto any. A Creature, as was the Humane Nature of Christ, cannot be made God, by an essential communication of Divine Properties unto it. Neither are ⟨p. 187⟩they so communicable, nor is that a capable Subject of their inhesion. Wherefore they speak dangerously who assert a real communication of the Properties of the one Nature of Christ unto the other, so as that the Humane Nature of Christ shall be Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient: neither doth the Union of the two Natures in the Person of Christ, require any more the Transfusion of the Divine Properties into the Humane, than those of the Humane into the Divine. If therefore by that Union, the Humane Nature should be thought to be rendered subjectively omnipotent and omnipresent, the Divine on the other hand must become limited and finite. But whatever belongs unto Christ with respect unto either Nature, belongs unto the Person of Christ, and therein he is all that he is in either Nature, and in both hath done and doth, what in either of them he hath done and doth, they yet continuing distinct in their essential Properties.
