What are the doctrines contrary to this?

The 1. heresie of Macedonius and Ʋalentinus, who affirmed that Christ brought with him a celestiall body from heauen: as also of Apelles, who said his bodie was ayrie, his flesh starlike, and that he passed from the virgin as water from a pipe.

2. Of the Manichees, who fained vnto him an imaginarie bodie.

3. Of Apollinaris, who denied that Christ did assume a reasona∣nable soule, but that his Diuinitie was vnto him in stead of his mind.

4. Of Eunomius, who affirmed Christ to be a meere man, and that he was called the sonne of God by adoption: and of Ebi∣on, who said that Christ was borne by humane generation.

5. Of Nestorius, who taught, that as there be two natures in Christ, so there are two persons; and that the Diuinitie is present with the humanitie by* 1.1 circumstance and combination, but not by personall vnion. Therfore he denied that Marie was* 1.2 the mother of God, or brought forth God: and affirmed that man, not God, was crucified of the Iewes.

6. Eutyches heresie contrary to the former: for he taught, that the humane nature after the vnion, was endued with the proprieties of the Diuinitie.

7. Of the Manichees, who auouched that Christ had but one onely will, not two, a diuine and humane will.

8. Of the Vbiquitaries, who attribute to the humanitie of Christ the essentiall properties of the Diuinitie, altogether forgetting that saying, He that taketh away the proprieties, taketh away the nature: and on the contrary, He that attributeth the proprieties, attributeth

the nature: and of whatsoeuer the Essence cannot be affirmed, no more can the essentiall proprieties thereof be affirmed of the same.
