Secondly he sayeth, I am living, and was dead: whereby he signifieth that he toke the true humane nature. The which many also at the same time denied: In like case as the• be some at this day, which do plainly derogate from th• humanity of Christ. Against all such manner of heresies the Lord him self confesseth that he was dead. Whereby it is now manifest, that he is very man, as he is also very God, of the same essence with his father in deity, as he is also of the same substance with us in humanity, like unto us in all things, sin excepted. For he toke not the nature of Angels, but the seed of Abraham. And it behoved in deed tha• the Son of man should be incarnate, that both he might di• & shed blood.1 For the Testament in the dead is finally ratified neither is there any remission made without blood she• ding. The Lord therefore dieth, and shedeth blood, to the into he might give full remission of sins, and confirm the new• Testament. Yet even he that was thought to be dead, now liveth,2 and is that same living, who having vanquished death, the iii. day rose again from the dead, and repaired life for a•• believers, and inspireth into them his own very life.

The whiche many also at the same time denied: In like case as the• be some at this daye, whiche do playnely derogate from th• humanitie of Christe. Agaynste all suche maner of heresies the Lorde him selfe confesseth that he was dead. Wherby it is now manifest, that he is very mā, as he is also very God, of the same essēce with his father in deitie, as he is also of the same substaunce with vs in humanitie, like vnto vs in all thinges, sinne excepted. For he toke not the nature of Aungelles, but the sede of Abraham. And it behoued in dede tha• the sonne of man shuld be incarnate, that bothe he might di & shede bloud.
