NOw, to passe from the Person of Christ, and his natures, and the
union of the natures, unto his actions and office peculiarly: We believe first, as there are two true natures in Chrst, whereof each had, and hath it's own true and essentiall proper∣ties, conjoyned indeed, as the na∣tures also are united, but not con∣founded: So likewise that there are two kinds of actions, which we read that our Lord Iesus Christ, partly hath already performed, and partly doth not yet cease to performe; and that some of these actions flow from the Deitie, and others from the humanitie; and that they were partly, and partly are so conjoyned, and yet so distinct, that each form (as Leo speaketh) doth alwayes work with the communion of the other, The Word still doing that which is proper to the Word, and the flesh exequuting that which belongeth unto the flesh. And again, as the works which Christ either did or doth by the virtue and power of the divine nature, are true and not feigned; for he reconciled us truely unto his Father, he pardoneth and forgiveth sinnes truely, he truely sanctifieth and regenerateth: So also
whatsoever we reade that he either did or suffered for us according to his humane nature, all that we be∣lieve that he both did and suffered in deed and in truth, and not in shew, and (as they speak) appearance onely.
