  1 1 |         ARE BEAUTIFULLY DESCRIBED. MAN'S FREE-WILL IS ASSERTED;
  2 1 |            IN INFLICTING PENALTYON MAN IS SHOWN; THE CONDITION
  3 1 |           prescribed laws, so that man might the rather be careful
  4 1 |        these things He also placed man at the head of the world,
  5 1 |            head of the world, arid man, too, made in the image
  6 1 |           down a command, in which man was taught that there was
  7 1 |     required does not come without man's knowledge; but He shows
  8 1 |      knowledge; but He shows forth man's hope of future discovery
  9 2 |           TRANSCENDING THE MIND OF MAN; INEXPLICABLE IN DISCOURSE,
 10 2 |            neither can the mind of man worthily conceive what they
 11 4 |             evil does not occur to man from any other cause than
 12 4 |         very thing is specified in man, not because it was necessary,
 13 5 |          although they may corrupt man, cannot at all corrupt the
 14 5 |           judged to be in God. For man may be corrupted by these
 15 6 |            but not to God, because man's design would be ineffectual
 16 7 |            heard, nor the heart of man, nor even his mind has perceived;"
 17 7 |        both the mind and nature of man have failed! Finally, if
 18 8 |             whom the whole mind of man is conscious of, even if
 19 9 |      spoken of when it shows how a man wrestled with Jacob; He
 20 9 |          hear: then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the
 21 9 |     neither form nor comeliness, a man in suffering, and who knoweth
 22 10|           THE SON OF GOD AND TRULY MAN, AS OPPOSED TO THE FANCIES
 23 10|           to do with the Creator's man? What hast thou to do with
 24 10|         Why comest thou to another man's servant, and desirest
 25 10|            thou to solicit another man's son? Why dost thou strive
 26 10|         thou shouldest have made a man to whom to give salvation.
 27 10|      refuse even the likeness of a man who is born by the 'marriage
 28 10|            the voluntary daring of man rebelled against the claims
 29 11|           THAT CHRIST WAS NOT ONLY MAN, BUT GOD ALSO; THAT EVEN
 30 11|          EVEN AS HE WAS THE SON OF MAN, SO ALSO HE WAS THE SON
 31 11|          place maintain that He is man only and alone, and therefore
 32 11|      desire to prove that He was a man bare and solitary; and lest
 33 11|          that He is only and alone man, but so as to maintain,
 34 11|            the human race was only man ; that the Lord of all,
 35 11|           but the Father, was only man, and denying to Him divine
 36 11|           in Him as if they were a man's weaknesses, but they do
 37 11|        result of proving Him to be man from His infirmities, the
 38 11|            avail to show Him to be man also from them. For whatever
 39 11|          should not be shown to be man from His sufferings, if
 40 11|           announces God Himself as man. It has as much described
 41 11|       described Jesus Christ to be man, as moreover it has also
 42 11|          only, but also the Son of man; nor does it only say, the
 43 11|            it only say, the Son of man, but it has also been accustomed
 44 11|           must be believed to be a man who is of man, so the same
 45 11|     believed to be a man who is of man, so the same nature prescribes
 46 11|          God, no more should he be man although he should be of
 47 11|           although he should be of man. And thus both doctrines
 48 11|            Jesus Christ the Son of man is man, read also that this
 49 11|           Christ the Son of man is man, read also that this same
 50 11|          For in the manner that as man He is of Abraham, so also
 51 11|            same manner as He is as man the "Son of David," so as
 52 11|           manner as He was made as man "under the law," so as God
 53 11|           manner as He suffers, as man, the condemnation, so as
 54 11|            manner as He is born as man subsequent to the world,
 55 11|          way as He was begotten as man of the seed of David, so
 56 11|          the same way as He was as man after many, so as God He
 57 11|           same manner as He was as man inferior to others, so as
 58 11|           manner as He ascended as man into heaven, so as God He
 59 11|          same manner as He goes as man to the Father, so as the
 60 12|          Christ. Why, then, should man hesitate to call Christ
 61 12|          hear; then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the
 62 12|            be in strictness a bare man, in a new manner, by those,
 63 12|          say that Christ is merely man; when compelled by the facts
 64 13|      because He was made flesh, is man; and because He is the Word
 65 13|            from heaven, the Son of man who is in heaven." Repeating
 66 13|       ascend thither as the Son of man, whence the Son of God had
 67 13|            it is the portion of no man to come from heaven, He
 68 13|        this word can be true of no man, "I and the Father are one,"
 69 13|         apostle not by men, nor of man, but by Jesus Christ;" and
 70 13|          Gospel not from men or by man, but received it from Jesus
 71 13|       justly God; or because He is man He is subsequent to all
 72 13|         things; that is, He is not man only, who is subsequent
 73 13|         Him, while if He were only man, nothing would be by Him;
 74 13|            by Him, He would not be man only, because if He were
 75 13|            because if He were only man, all things would not be
 76 13|           is by Him, so that He is man only? How then are all things
 77 13|           Him? Therefore He is not man only, but God also, since
 78 13|      understand that Christ is not man only, who is subsequent
 79 13|         how can you say that He is man only, when you see Him also
 80 14|           facts. If Christ is only man, how, when He came into
 81 14|         come unto His own, since a man could have made no world?
 82 14|          world? If Christ was only man, how is the world said to
 83 14|          when the world was not by man, but man was ordained after
 84 14|          world was not by man, but man was ordained after the world?
 85 14|          world? If Christ was only man, how was it that Christ
 86 14|          in us. If Christ was only man, how does He "who cometh
 87 14|              when it is plain that man cannot come from heaven,
 88 14|           there? If Christ be only man, how are "visible things
 89 14|        could not have been made by man, since they must needs have
 90 14|           needs have been prior to man? If Christ is only man,
 91 14|          to man? If Christ is only man, how is He present wherever
 92 14|            it is not the nature of man, but of God, that it can
 93 14|           place? If Christ is only man, why is a man invoked in
 94 14|       Christ is only man, why is a man invoked in prayers as a
 95 14|           when the invocation of a man to afford salvation is condemned
 96 14|     ineffectual? If Christ is only man, why is hope rested upon
 97 14|      rested upon Him, when hope in man is declared to be accursed?
 98 14|        accursed? If Christ is only man, why may not Christ be denied
 99 14|            a sin committed against man may be forgiven? If Christ
100 14|        forgiven? If Christ is only man, how comes John the Baptist
101 14|          when, if Christ were only man, being born after John,
102 14|          is God? If Christ is only man, how is it that "what things
103 14|            the Son likewise," when man cannot do works like to
104 14|          of God? If Christ is only man, how is it that "even as
105 14|        have life in Himself," when man cannot have life in him
106 14|       mortality? If Christ is only man, how does He say, "I am
107 14|            down from heaven," when man can neither be the bread
108 14|          heaven? If Christ is only man, how does He say that "no
109 14|           how does He say that "no man hath seen God at any time,
110 14|          Because if Christ is only man, He could not see God, because
111 14|            not see God, because no man has seen God; but if, being
112 14|    understood that He is more than man, in that He has seen God.
113 14|        seen God. If Christ is only man, why does He say, "What
114 14|            ye shall see the Son of man ascending thither where
115 14|        Father, He certainly is not man only; for man, as we have
116 14|     certainly is not man only; for man, as we have said, could
117 14|          from heaven. Therefore as man He was not there before,
118 14|         made. It was not therefore man that thus came thence from
119 15|          IS GOD.~If Christ is only man, how is it that He says, "
120 15|         Whence if Christ were only man, He would not have come
121 15|           coming thence, whence as man He could not have come,
122 15|       Christ was nothing else than man; not considering this point,
123 15|    considering this point, that as man could not come from heaven,
124 15|           must be God, seeing that man could not come thence. If
125 15|          thence. If Christ is only man, how does He say, "Ye are
126 15|             But therefore if every man is of this world, and Christ
127 15|          in this world, is He only man ? God forbid ! But consider
128 15|         this world," if He is only man ? Or if He does not speak
129 15|         world; He is therefore not man only, because He is not
130 15|            is, from heaven, whence man cannot come, for he was
131 15|        Christ is not God only, but man also. As reasonably in the
132 15|            has taken upon Him. For man is joined with God, and
133 15|             and God is linked with man. But on that account this
134 15|          to believe Him to be only man, in that proportion Christ
135 15|       divinity alone. If Christ is man only, how does He say, "
136 15|            when it is evident that man was made by God, and did
137 15|         But in the way in which as man He proceeded not from God,
138 15|        from God. If Christ is only man, how does He say, "If any
139 15|           how does He say, "If any man shall keep my word, he shall
140 15|       fruit of divinity. For every man is mortal; and immortality
141 15|           from Christ, as a mortal man, immortality cannot arise. "
142 15|   immortality: certainly He is not man only who gives immortality,
143 15| immortality, which if He were only man He could not give; but by
144 15|           give. If Christ was only man, how did He say, "Before
145 15|         Abraham was, I Am?" For no man can be before Him from whom
146 15|        Abraham. If Christ was only man, how does He say, "And I
147 15|      perish?" And yet, since every man is bound by the laws of
148 15|           eternal salvation, which man, being unable to keep himself
149 15|         another. If Christ is only man, what is that which He says, "
150 16|            GOD.~If Christ was only man, how is it that He Himself
151 16|         And yet he who believes in man by himself alone is called
152 16|           if on the one hand He is man only, as the heretics will
153 16|             since he who trusts in man is held to be accursed?
154 16|    everlasting life, Christ is not man only, but God also, in whom
155 16|  righteousness. If Christ was only man, how does He say that the
156 16|    Paraclete receive anything from man, but the Paraclete offers
157 16|      Paraclete offers knowledge to man; nor does the Paraclete
158 16|           learn things future from man, but instructs man concerning
159 16|            from man, but instructs man concerning futurity. Therefore
160 16|           received from Christ, as man, what He should declare,
161 16|           He should declare, since man could give nothing to the
162 16|    Paraclete, seeing that from Him man himself ought to receive,
163 16|          receive from Him, being a man, the things which He may
164 16|           that if Christ were only man, Christ would receive from
165 16|        declare. If Christ was only man, wherefore did He lay down
166 16|         would have added, "And the man Jesus Christ, whom Thou
167 16|           known Himself to be only man; nor would He have linked
168 16|          is silent about His being man, because no one doubts His
169 16|            no one doubts His being man, and with reason links Himself
170 16|        believe. If Christ was only man, how does He say, "And now
171 16|           in existence. But indeed man could not have glory before
172 16|        world. Therefore He was not man only, seeing that He was
173 17|          receiving subsequently as man according to the flesh,
174 17|          hold to be as well God as man, Christ Jesus. What if the
175 17|           God saying, "Let us make man after our image and likeness;"
176 17|           and below, "And God made man; in the image of God made
177 17|            Son of God by whom also man was ordained, on whose account
178 17|             when God commands that man should be made, He is said
179 17|           said to be God who makes man; but the Son of God makes
180 17|           but the Son of God makes man, that is to say, the Word
181 17|           Christ is God; therefore man was made by Christ as by
182 17|           Son of God. But God made man in the image of God; He
183 17|          is therefore God who made man in the image of God; therefore
184 17|          Christ the Son of God and man to be only man, and not
185 17|          of God and man to be only man, and not God also, do so
186 18|  UNDERSTOOD OF THE FATHER, WHOM NO MAN HATH SEEN AT ANY TIME; BUT
187 18|           hears from God, that "no man can see God and live." If
188 18|            For John also says, "No man hath seen God at any time;"
189 18|         the Apostle Paul, "Whom no man hath seen, nor can see."
190 18|       assuredly Christ is not only man, but angel also; and not
191 19|         says that Christ is either man or angel alone, withholding
192 19|   Scripture declares Him also both man and God, expressing thereby
193 19|          there wrestled with him a man even till daybreak. And
194 19|          halted upon his thigh." A man, it says, wrestled with
195 19|          Jacob. If this was a mere man, who is he? Whence is he?
196 19|          strong enough to hold the man with whom he is wrestling,
197 19|           Gospel? For against this man Jacob's people struggled,
198 19|       blessing. But, moreover, the man who wrestled with Jacob
199 19|        name;" and if lsrael is the man who sees God, the Lord was
200 19|     showing that it was not only a man who was then wrestling with
201 19|        although he was holding the man in his own struggle. And
202 19|         whom he wrestled as with a man; but still indeed he held
203 19|           still indeed he held the man as a conqueror, though as
204 19|         wrestled with God and with man; and thus truly was that
205 19|   wrestling was fulfilled, was not man only, but God also, since
206 19|           seems to have proved Him man and God? And yet, even after
207 20|          received the power of one man, in respect to this limited
208 21|         Christ is proved to be not man only, because He was the
209 21|          because He was the son of man, but also God, because He
210 21|            to show that Christ the man was the first-born of every
211 21|            creature, and He is not man only, because man is after
212 21|           is not man only, because man is after every creature;
213 21|           every creature; or He is man only, and He is after every
214 21|          us, that is, assumes that man's nature which is after
215 21|        from Him; but if He is only man, the divinity which is before
216 21|           Mediator between God and man" is revealed to have associated
217 21|      associated in Himself God and man. And if the same apostle
218 21|          manhood, had He been only man: for man is never either
219 21|          had He been only man: for man is never either deprived
220 21|           is divested; whereas, as man, He is invested with and
221 21|         indeed He is washed, He is man, because the garment which
222 21|        washed, He is revealed as a man, even as from the authority
223 22|          and found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, becoming
224 22|            If Christ had been only man, He would have been spoken
225 22|           of God. For we know that man was made after the image
226 22|        servant--that is, to become man; and the substance of flesh
227 22|        Because if He had been born man only, He would not have
228 22|            in respect of this; for man, being born, is increased,
229 22|            of a servant, how is He man only? Of whom it could more
230 22|       subjected or be placed under man, when they might remember
231 22|     remember that they were before man. Whence, since Christ is
232 22|             consequently He is not man only, from the fact that
233 23|         Son of God; and the Son of man, having been taken up, moreover
234 23|          He must be believed to be man also. Because if He came
235 23|        also. Because if He came to man, that He might be Mediator
236 23|          it behoved Him to be with man, and the Word to be made
237 23|        natures, and uniting God to man and man to God; so that
238 23|         and uniting God to man and man to God; so that reasonably
239 23|     assumption of flesh the Son of man, and the Son of man by the
240 23|         Son of man, and the Son of man by the reception of the
241 23|         Jesus Christ, both God and man, that the human race might
242 24|          SON OF GOD AND THE SON OF MAN; BECAUSE THEY HAVE ILL UNDERSTOOD
243 24|          Son of God and the Son of man; because if a distinction
244 24|        easily be proved to be both man and God. For they will have
245 24|         that the self-same that is man, the Son of man, appears
246 24|            that is man, the Son of man, appears also as the Son
247 24|            as the Son of God; that man and flesh and that same
248 24|       discerned between the Son of man and the Son of God, but
249 24|         Son of God, but the Son of man Himself is asserted to be
250 24|           of God is asserted to be man only; by which they strive
251 24|            her, is the Son of God. Man, say they, himself, and
252 24|      understand thereby Christ the man, the Son of man; and when
253 24|         Christ the man, the Son of man; and when it places before
254 24|          we ought to perceive, not man, but God. And yet the divine
255 24|        links to Himself the Son of man, and draws Him and transfers
256 24|          in the case of the Son of man; and by consequence He reasonably
257 24|            declare that the Son of man, in that He is man, is the
258 24|          Son of man, in that He is man, is the same as the Son
259 24|         same as the Son of God and man. But now, explaining severally
260 24|            into Himself the Son of man, consequently made Him the
261 24|          So that, while the Son of man cleaves in His nativity
262 24|         between the Son of God and man; yet with their association,
263 24|  understand that Christ the Son of man is man, and also to receive
264 24|           Christ the Son of man is man, and also to receive the
265 24|         receive the Son of God and man the Son of God; that is,
266 24|      another of a mutual alliance--man and God by the truth of
267 25|           ONLY WAS CHRIST GOD, BUT MAN ALSO.~Therefore, say they,
268 25|         say they, if Christ is not man only, but God also--and
269 25|            He is not only God, but man also, it follows that what
270 25|           God is, as of that which man is--for "the Word was made
271 25|          that in Him died which is man? For what if the divinity
272 25|           was slain! For if in any man whatever, the soul has this
273 25|         God, and if the cruelty of man fails to destroy the soul,
274 26|            the divine writings not man only, but God also, other
275 26|           He is asserted to be not man only, but also is declared
276 26|           to the Son, "Let us make man in our image and our likeness;"
277 26|         was related, "And God made man, in the image of God made
278 27|          and because thou, being a man, makest thyself God," the
279 28|           declare this, that every man ought henceforth to consider,
280 30|          would have Him to be only man, have gathered thence the
281 30|    believed either that Christ was man only, or really God the
282 30|         who contend that Christ is man only, conclude on the other
283 30|       consequence Christ must be a man, so that rightly the Father
284 30|      dwelleth in the light that no man can approach unto, whom
285 30|         can approach unto, whom no man hath seen, nor can see."
