The Conservative Reformation and Its Theology - Saint Mary ...

2. The properties of the divine nature are, to be essentially, naturally,
and of itself omnipotent, eternal, infinite, everywhere present. These
neither are, nor can be, the attributes of the human nature. The attributes of
the human nature neither are, nor can be, the attributes of the divine nature.
3. Those things which are proper to the one nature only, are
attributed to the other nature not as separate, but to the whole person. The
divine nature does not suffer, but that person who is God, suffers in His
humanity. All works and all sufferings are attributed not to the nature, but
to the person. Each nature acts, with the communion of the other, what is
proper to it.
4. The human nature in Christ, because it is personally united with
the divine nature, beside and above its natural, essential, and permanent
human properties, has received peculiar, supernatural, unsearchable,
unspeakable prerogatives of majesty, glory, and power.
5. This impartation is not made by any essential or natural
outpouring of the attributes of the divine nature upon the human nature, as
if the humanity of Christ could have them per se and separated from the
divine essence, or as if through that communication the human nature of
Christ had laid aside its natural and essential properties, and was either
converted into the divine nature, or was made equal in itself, or per se, to
the divine nature by these communicated attributes, or that the natural and
essential properties of each are the same, or at least equal.
6. Inasmuch as the whole fulness of the Godhead dwells in Christ,
not as in holy men and angels, but bodily, that is, as in its own proper
body, that Godhead, with all its majesty, virtue, glory, and operation, where
and as Christ will, shines forth in that human nature; and in it, with it, and
through it, reveals and exercises its divine virtue, majesty, and efficacy.
7. Thus there is and abides in Christ one only divine omnipotence,
virtue, majesty, and glory, which is proper to the divine nature alone; but
this same, which is one only, shines forth and fully, yet voluntarily, exerts
its power in, and with, and through the assumed humanity in Christ. 224
