Answ. Though the divine nature cannot be divided, yet it is after one manner in the Father, and after another manner in 1the Son, and so in the holy Ghost: for the divine nature is in the Father [Greek or Hebrew], unbegotten, It is in the Son [Greek or Hebrew], communicated by generation, It is in the holy Ghost [Greek or Hebrew] proceeding: Now the humane nature is assumed by ⟨p. 249⟩the divine, considered only as it is in the Son, and in the manner as the son enjoys it. God the Father that eternal mind begets the Word, or perfect Image of himself, which is the second person: Now to that Image of the Fathers person is the nature of man united.
Answ. Though the diuine nature cannot be diuided, yet it is after one manner in the Father, and after another manner in 1the Sonne, and so in the holy Ghost: for the diuine nature is in the Father 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, vnbegotten, It is in the Sonne 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, communicated by generation, It is in the holy Ghost 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 proceeding: Now the humane nature is assumed by ⟨p. 249⟩the diuine, considered onely as it is in the Sonne, and in the manner as the sonne enioyes it. God the Father that eternall minde begets the Word, or perfect Image of himselfe, which is the second person: Now to that Image of the Fathers person is the nature of man vnited.
