CHAP. 17. Of the distinction of both Natures. (Book 17)

THe distinction of both Natures, is that, whereby they, with their proper∣ties and effects, remaine, without composition, mingling, or conuersion, distinct. Ioh. 10.17,18. Therefore doth my Father loue me, because I lay downe my life, that I may take it againe. No man taketh it from me, but: I lay it downe of my selfe. I haue power to lay it downe, and haue power to take it againe. Ioh. 13.31, 32. Now is the Son of man glorified, & God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorifie him in himselfe. Here we may obserue, that there is one will in Christ, as God: another, as man. Matth. 26.39. Not as I will but as thou wilt. This also approoueth that sentence of the Chalcedon Creede. Wee confesse, that one and the same Christ Iesus, both Sonne, Lord, only begottē, is known and preached to be in two natures without confusion, mutation, distinction, or separa∣tion.

Lastly, hereby it is manifest, that Christ, when he became that which he was not (namely man) continued still that which he was (very God.)
