SECT. 10. The Luthreans confuted.

1. THat the Assertion, concludeth a contradiction, for how doth Christs human nature retain the naturall proper∣ty thereof for ever (in being but in one place at once) if it be every where by vertue of the God-head?

2. If by vertue of this union the human nature can doe all things which the Diety doth, then the human nature should be absorpt, and as it were changed into the Divine.

3. There is a mutuall communion of the properties, betwixt the two Natures of Christ, but such as destroyeth not the true properties of either; but if the property of the Diety were com∣municated to the humane nature to be every where, the Huma∣nity of Christ should be altered in nature, being without the true property thereof, which is to be but in one place at once.

4. As the reason of this Assertion is not sound, so the conclu∣sion it selfe (viz. of Christs omni-presence in his Humanity) is contrary to the Scriptures, where the Apostle Peter saith, Whom the heavens must contain, untill the time that all things must be restored, Act. 3. 21.

This which hath been spoken, I suppose is sufficient to convince all such as deny the Divinity of Christ, or that he is not equall with the Father, and the Holy Ghost; but least some curious Na∣turalists should not be herewith satisfied, in the unity of the Trinity, and the Trinity in unity, (relying more upon human, or carnall reason, then Scripture) I will therefore recite the opi∣nions of sundry men touching the Trinity, and Ʋnity, of the three Persons in the same; by which they may be made unex∣cusable, and also shamed out of their absurd Heresies, and Blas∣phemies, and so revoke them for ever.
