Prop. IV. The Assumption of the humane Na•••e, has caused no real Change in the Person of the ⟨p. 102⟩Son of God. Tho the Word was made flesh, there was no real Change wrought in him thereby; […] a new Respect, a new Relation: That Person which before was only God, is now man as well as God. As a man that is clothed, is the same that he was before he put on his clothing; […] the Son of God is the same that he was before he put on humane nature. Indeed the humane nature is changed, being meliorated and gloriously advanced by this Assumption into personal Union with the divine nature, but the Son is the same. He is an unchangeable person. Heb. 1. 8, 12. As when God created the world, there was no Change in God, but in the Creature only. So it is here.
