H. Zanchius his confession of Christian religion Which novve at length being 70. yeares of age, he caused to bee published in the name of himselfe & his family. Englished in sense agreeable, and in words as answerable to his ovvne latine copie, as in so graue a mans worke is requisite: for the profite of all the vnlearneder sort, of English christians, that desire to know his iudgement in matters of faith.

XIII. Tvvo kindes of actions in Christ: and all those things which we read that he did & suf∣fred, were done indeede according to the trueth of the matter, and not after a vaine shew or illusion.

Now from the person of Christ, and his na∣tures, and the vnion of the natures, to passe o∣uer peculiarly to his actions and his office: First we beleeue, that as there are two true natures in Christ, whereof each hath had and hath her true and essentiall proprieties, coupled toge∣ther, euen as the natures are also vnited, but not confounded together: so there are two kinds of actions, which our Lord Iesus Christ is said partlie to haue performed, and partlie wil yet performe for our saluatiō: some wher∣of proceed from his deitie, and some from his humanitie: and the same partlie haue bin, & partly are so ioyned together, and yet distinct that each of their formes (as Leo speaketh) al∣waies worketh with communiō of the other, The word, performing those thinges which are of the worde, and the flesh, those thinges which pertaine to the flesh. Moreouer, as those thinges which Christ did and doeth by vertue of his diuine nature, were true and not fained deeds, (for he truelie reconciled vs to his father, he truelie forgiueth sinnes, & truely sanctifieth, and regenerateth.) So whatsoeuer

we read that he did or suffred for vs according to his humanitie, wee beleeue that he did and suffred all those things truelie and indeed, and not onelie in a vaine shew and (as some speak) an appearance onelie.
