Propos. III. The two natures of Christ remain really distinct from one another. It was the Heresy of Ea•iches that he did confound the two ⟨p. 100⟩natures of Christ. And there are Millions […] men in the world at this day, who Call themselves Christians that are infected with that Error. But we must know, that tho there be an Union, yet there is no Confusion of the natures of Christ. And although' there be ([…] as has been showed) a Communication of Properties by reason of the personal Union […] nevertheless the natures of Christ remain distinct in their properties. Christ hath tw• Understandings, a Divine Understanding which is Infinite; in respect whereof He knoweth all things; yea, what grace is in the hearts of men Joh. 21. 17. And an humane Understanding which is not Omniscient; (tho now in glory Christ understanding as man• is enlarged so as to be next to Infinite) Marc. 13. 42. Hence Christ in respect of his humane understanding, he was said to grow in Wisdom Luc. 2. 52. As man, he knoweth more now in heaven, than he did when on earth. Rev. 1. 1. He has two Wills, really distinct (tho not Contradictory) the one from the other, Luc. 22. 42. Hence that may be affirmed of one of Christ's natures which can not be affirmed of the other e. g. It may be said of the humane nature of Christ, that it was, Conceived, born, ⟨p. 101⟩••••ifyed, buried, ascended into Glory, none of which things can be said of the Divine Nature. Of the humane nature of Christ •e may say, there was a time when it was not. […]. 4. 4. Time began when the World began, and the world was near four thousand years old before the humane nature of Christ was made: but we cannot say of the Divine Nature of Christ, that once it was not. Joh. 1. 1. In the Beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God, We may now say of the humane Nature of Christ, that the Heavens do contain it, and shall do so till the time of Restitution of all things. But as for his Divine Nature, the Heaven of Heavens cannot contain it. We may say and must believe, concerning the […] nature of Christ that it is omnipresent, Mat. 18. 20. Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the middest of them. But we cannot say so of the humane nature; for that were to make finite Infinite: and in effect to say, that Christ has only a Divine, and not an humane nature:
