DOCT. XII. That unto Christ as Man, was given in∣deed the greatest power that could be; but yet finite: as also other gifts.
WE believe further, that, as Christ, as he is God, is simply omnipo∣tent, and simply wise, and so also in his other Atrributes: So as he is man, there was given unto him power and knowledge, fárre surpassing, yea al∣most by infinite degrees, the power, and knowledge of all creatures both in heaven and on earth; but yet fi∣nite: and so likewise all other gifts and virtues, as charitie, prudence,

fortitude, justice, grace, truth, and the rest, whereof the Prophet Isaiah speaketh,a 1.1And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, &c. and Iohn the Evangelist, who testifieth that he wasb 1.2full of grace and truth, (and Luke)c 1.3And Iesus increased in wisedome and stature, and in favour with God and Man. For which cause he is by the Apostle said to bed 1.4set at Gods right hand in the heavenly places,e 1.5Farre above all principalities and powers; and again, Iohn saith,f 1.6God giveth not the Spirit unto him by measure; and again, the Apostle,g 1.7In him are hid all the treasures of wisedome and know∣ledge. Whence it cometh to passe that, as he is Man, he knoweth all things, and can do all things which belong unto his office: but as for those things which no created substance can do, but God alone; those he doth by the power of the Deitie, yet not without the consent, and as it were the sup∣plication of the humane nature: inso∣much that to all the actions of Christ, as he is God, concerning our salva∣tion, his soul in some manner is al∣wayes added, by the love, desire, and

will thereof. As likewise in all which he did as Man the Deitie al∣wayes concurred, even in his death and passion; not that the Deitie suf∣fered, but that it willed the death & passion of Christ, and gave unto his death and passion infinite power and efficacie to expiate and purge away our sins. To conclude in a word, concerning the natures of Christ, to∣gether with their union, and pro∣perties, we believe whatsoever was set down, and concluded by the Ni∣cene Councill, and that of Constanti∣nople, and that of Ephesus, and that of Calcedon, agaist Arius, Apollinaris, Nestorius, Eutyches: as also what was defined and determined in the sixt Synod against the Monothelites.
