Moreouer what this manner of praedication is, and why it is so called, the same Damascene expoundeth in the 4. chapter both by example, and by the cause in these wordes: This manner of mutuall praedication is, vvhen those things vvhich are proper to one nature, are spoken of the other na∣ture, by reason of the hypostaticall identitie or perso∣nall vnion of them both; and for that the one nature is in the other: for example vvee may say of Christ, this our god was seene vpon the earth and conuersed with men: and this man is vncreated, not subiect to passion, not circumscribed in any place.

And the examples added doe manifestlie shewe howe one nature doeth attribute those things which are proper vnto it selfe to the o∣ther, and for what cause: For God, (in that, by this name is ment the diuine essence) was not seene on earth: but onely, in that the person is ment by it, which is both God and man.
