But againe, lest some might hereby falslie gather, that wee conceiue of such an vnion, which is made with the flesh of christ beeing really here vppon earth, by some physical or naturall touching, either grosse or subtile, as al sensible thinges are coupled with the sences, some in grosser; and some in a subtiller man∣ner: or which is made with the same flesh re∣maining in heauen, by certaine intelligible formes in the minde (as the philosophers speake) as all things which are vnderstood are vnited with the vnderstanding faculty, which apprehendeth the same by certaine formes or images: Therefore we al adioyne the meanes whereby this vnion & incorporation is made

namely by the spirite of christ, communicated vnto vs, really abiding in vs, coupling vs vnto christ, and working in vs, that by a liuely faith we may embrace christ.
