5 But before he do that, he meateth with the error of the Manichees and Seruetus, which would have the soul to be the offspring of the substance of god, in this error Osiander entangled him self, while without the essential justice, that is, except Christ did substantially pour himself upon us, he would not acknowledge the Image of God. But Paul allegeth out of Aratus that we are the offspring of God,1 but in quality, not in substance; inasmuch as he hath garnished us with his gifts: and in an other place, he entreateth of the restoring of this image where it may be readily gathered out of his words, that man was made of like form to God, not by inflowing of his substance,2 but by the grace and power of his spirit: for he saith, that in beholding the glory of Christ, we are transformed into the same Image, as the spirit of God, which surely so worketh in us, that it maketh us of one substance with God.
5 But before he doe that, he meateth with the errour of the Manichies and Seruetus, which would haue the soule to be the ofspring of ye substance of god, in this errour Osiander entangled him selfe, while without the essentiall iustice, that is, except Christ did substantially powre himselfe vpon vs, he would not acknowledge the Image of God. But Paul alledgeth out of Aratus that we are the ofspring of God,1 but in qualitie, not in substance; inasmuch as hée hath garnished vs with his giftes: and in an other place, he entreateteh of the restoring of this image where it may be readilie gathered out of his wordes, that man was made of like forme to God, not by inflowing of his substance,2 but by the grace and power of his spirite: for he saith, that in beholding the glory of Christe, wee are transfourmed into the same Image, as the spirite of God, which surely so worketh in vs, that it maketh vs of one substaunce with God.
