Argument:  He who makes something cannot be the same as the thing which he

makes.  Christ is the Creator.  Therefore he cannot be a creature.

Response:  We join the Creator and the creature in the unity of the person. 

The worthless Schwenkfeld [reproaches] us for teaching that Christ is only a

creature.  He wants to be holy when he stirs up that sect and says that

Christ in glory is not a man.  Therefore neither will he be God or worthy of

worship.  He means a pure creature apart from the divinity.  He reproaches

good men without naming them.  None say, as you claim, that Christ is purely

a creature, but a serpent is easily hidden.
