3. Of the properties of the humane nature in Christ, they infer the inequality and diversity of his God-head. As, Christ suffered, died, &c. Therefore he is not God. The Rule whereby we answer to this,1 is: Those things which are proper to the humane nature, are not to be drawn to the divine nature: For Christ died not as God, but as man.

4. They confound the office of the Mediator with the nature or person; that is, they go from the office to the nature: As, Christ is sent of the Father: Therefore he is inferior to the Father.1 The Rule to answer this, is: The inequality of office doth not infer inequality of nature or persons. Or, as Cyril saith, The sending and obedience take not away the equality of power or essence. So the Father is said to be greater than the Son, not in nature or God-head, but in manifestation: For not the Father, but the Son, was made base and miserable in the humane nature assumed. Where then Christ saith, that his Father is greater than he, it is meant in respect of his humane nature, and in respect of his office of the Mediatorship.
