SECT. 8. Touching Christs human nature.

1. IT condemneth all such as affirme that Christ was not a true man, but only in outward appearance; as the Manaches, and* 1.1 Mertionites, who are confuted by Christs owne words, Luk. 24. 29. Handle me, and see me, for a Spirit hath not flesh, and bones, as ye see me have, with 1 Cor. 15. 47. Act. 2. 22. 1 Tim. 2. 5.

2. Those which hold that Christ had not his flesh of the Vir∣gin Mary, but brought it with him from Heaven; contrary to the Apostle, who saith, that he was made of the seed of David ac∣cording to the flesh, Rom. 1. 3.

3. Those who hold that Christ had a true Human nature, but in respect of his body only, as Apollonaris of La••dicea, who is

convinced by the words of our Saviour, Mat. 26. 38. My soule is heavie unto the death.

4. Those who grant that Christ tooke upon him our whole Nature, but not our human infirmities; for the Apostle teach∣eth the contrary, that Christ was in all things tempted in like sort as we are, yet without sinne, Heb. 4. 15. For, infirmities are of two sorts, Personall and Naturall.
