Whereas the elect and saints are said to be of God, 1to be born of God and his Spirit, and the sons of God, and spiritual: neither is this understood of the propagation of the essence, but of the similitude of the properties, or of the image of God, to the which they are refashioned by Gods Spirit. §44. When Paul also saith, that he which is joined unto the Lord is one spirit; 2and Peter, That we are made partakers of the divine nature; we are taught, both that the spirit of God dwelleth in us by grace, and is joined unto us; and also, that there is begun in us, even now, a conformity with God, which shall be perfected in the life to come. §55. When Christ himself is said to be God, and to have a divine body: there is not thereby signified a mutation of the divine nature into the humane, or of the humane into the divine: but an inseparable conjoining of two natures, retaining their properties distinct, into one person, and a glorifying of the humane nature, which indeed agreeth to a nature, ruler and governor of all things, but yet notwithstanding made and created.
