VII. As the first is made by vertue of the holie ghost, so is the second.

As we certainelie knowe that as the Sonne of God, our Lord Iesus Christ, in the first vni∣on coupled vnto himselfe our flesh and blood, by vertue of his spirite: (for he was conceiued man of the holie ghost, and therefore without sinne: for which cause also he is called, the man from heauen:) so also in the secōd vnion he doth communicate his flesh and his blood and his whole selfe vnto vs, and in the same commu∣nion doth knitt, ioyne and incorporate vs into him, by the power of the same his spirite: that alwaies the bonde, where with Christ is cou∣pled with vs, and we with Christ, might bee the same spirite of Christ: which, as it did bringe to passe in the wombe of the virgine, that the sonne of god should be made flesh of our flesh, and bone of our bones: so also by working in our hearts, and incorporating vs into Christ it bringes to passe, that wee likewise, by partici∣pation of the bodie & blood of Christ, should be bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh: espe∣ciallie seeing hee stirreth vp that faith in vs, whereby wee acknowledge and embrace him for true God and man, and therefore a per∣fect Sauiour.
