shall_v not_o perish_v who_o he_o have_v create_v therefore_o behold_v two_o nature_n but_o knit_v together_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a saviour_n even_o as_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n be_v gather_v together_o in_o one_o only_a man_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n keep_v their_o propriety_n as_o it_o be_v know_v that_o some_o propriety_n be_v of_o the_o body_n &_o other_o of_o the_o soul_n but_o let_v a_o man_n mark_v they_o &_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o those_o propriety_n yet_o do_v he_o not_o therefore_o separate_v the_o body_n from_o the_o soul_n the_o scripture_n then_o and_o also_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n speak_v of_o jesus_n christ_n have_v sometime_o respect_n unto_o the_o propriety_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o then_o it_o be_v say_v that_o christ_n know_v not_o the_o hour_n of_o judgement_n when_o he_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o swaddle_a band_n when_o he_o do_v increase_v in_o all_o wisdom_n and_o have_v respect_n but_o unto_o the_o

2._o have_v respect_n unto_o his_o nature_n and_o divine_a majesty_n and_o sometime_o the_o scripture_n do_v consider_v these_o two_o nature_n of_o christ_n knit_v together_o when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n of_o glory_n be_v crucify_v wherefore_o because_o that_o christ_n have_v yet_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o he_o who_o have_v suffer_v be_v the_o lord_n of_o glory_n for_o this_o flesh_n be_v knit_v with_o the_o eternal_a word_n of_o the_o personal_a union_n so_o it_o be_v say_v that_o god_n have_v redeem_v we_o by_o his_o blood_n 20._o act_n 20._o because_o that_o this_o blood_n be_v the_o blood_n of_o this_o body_n which_o be_v knit_v with_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o we_o do_v say_v for_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n with_o the_o soul_n when_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a albeit_o that_o there_o be_v but_o the_o least_o part_n dead_a to_o wit_n the_o body_n the_o soul_n be_v as_o we_o know_v immortal_a proceed_v from_o whence_o heresy_n do_v proceed_v this_o be_v to_o be_v note_v because_o the_o most_o part_n of_o heresy_n do_v come_v forth_o in_o that_o whereas_o either_o a_o man_n confound_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n or_o that_o one_o sunder_v the_o nature_n and_o they_o leave_v not_o this_o ground_n or_o this_o foundation_n that_o we_o have_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o wit_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o christ_n and_o that_o this_o christ_n be_v as_o mediator_n knit_v unto_o two_o nature_n and_o to_o acknowledge_v they_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o the_o propriety_n do_v remain_v for_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v the_o humane_a nature_n if_o it_o be_v invisible_a and_o in_o all_o place_n as_o some_o dream_n what_o god_n shall_v jesus_n be_v if_o he_o be_v create_v even_o as_o arritus_n do_v blaspheme_v the_o humane_a nature_n therefore_o of_o christ_n have_v receive_v great_a prerogative_n nature_n prerogative_n of_o christ_n humane_a nature_n as_o to_o be_v sanctify_v from_o the_o begin_n by_o the_o

needful_a and_o may_v bring_v to_o he_o to_o be_v short_a we_o must_v hold_v that_o as_o the_o humane_a nature_n take_v to_o the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v not_o weaken_v the_o divinity_n so_o have_v not_o the_o divinity_n swallow_v up_o the_o deity_n nor_o consume_v the_o humanity_n as_o the_o schuencfeldians_n thought_n for_o our_o saviour_n be_v true_a god_n and_o man_n and_o not_o a_o man_n
