WE confess that from the first instant of this conception athe person of the son was inseparably united with the nature of man in such sort that there be not two sons of God, nor two Jesus Christs, but one only son of God Jesus Christ, very God and very man: yet nevertheless both these natures abiding and remaining in their several properties. For the divinity separated from the humanity, or the humanity divided or plucked from the divinity, or the one confused with the other would serve us to no purpose.
