2. Whether Christ suffered according to both natures.
Christ suffered not according to both natures, neither according to his God-head, but according to his humane nature only, both in body and soul. For his divine nature is immutable, impassible, immortal, and very life it self; which cannot die. Now, he so suffered according to his humanity, that by his death and passion he made satisfaction for infinite sins of men. And the divinity sustained and upheld the humanity in the griefs and pains thereof, and raised it again to life, when it had been dead. Christ was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickened in the spirit. 1For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us unto God. Destroy this Temple, and I will raise it up again in three days. I was dead, and lo I am alive. I have power to lay down my life, and to take it up again. These testimonies prove that there was another nature in Christ besides his flesh, which other nature neither suffered nor died.
CHrist suffered not according to both natures, neither according to his God-head, but according to his humane nature onely, both in body and soule. For his divine nature is immutable, impassible, immortall, and very life it selfe; which cannot die. Now, he so suffered according to his humanity, that by his death and passion he made satisfaction for infinite sinnes of men. And the divinity sustained and upheld the humanity in the griefes and paines thereof, and raised it againe to life, when it had been dead. Christ was put to death concerning the flesh, but was quickned in the spirit. 1For Christ also hath once suffered for sinnes, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us unto God. Destroy this Temple, and I will raise it up againe in three dayes. I was dead, and loe I am alive. I have power to lay downe my life, and to take it up againe. These testimonies prove that there was another nature in Christ besides his flesh, which other nature neither suffered nor died.
