A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §540

Annotatio IV §.X close: Vigilius — natural local absence; two natures — stop before §.XI

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Vigilius (against Eutyches and Nestorius) states the Reformers’ sentence: according to humanity the Son withdrew; according to divinity He is with us.

By the servant-form taken into heaven He is ABSENT; by the form of God He is present on earth. Flesh once on earth was not in heaven; now in heaven it is NOT ON EARTH. One Christ of BOTH NATURES — everywhere by divinity, place-bound by humanity.

Stop before §.XI (seventh century; Isidore).

Latin

cujus contra Eutychen & Nestorium disputantis verba notatu dignissima, omnem hac de re sententiam Reformatorum exponunt: Dei filius, ait ille, secundum humanitatem recessit à nobis, secundum divinitatem ait nobis: Ecce ego vobiscum sum. Per formam servi, quam abstulit à nobis in cælum, ABSENS EST NOBIS; per formam Dei, qua non recedit à nobis, in terris præsens est nobis, Lib. 1. Itemque Lib. 4. Caro Christi, quando in terra fuit, non erat utique in cælo, & nunc quia in cælo est, NON EST UTIQUE IN TERRA. Apparet unum eundemque Christum, UTRIUSQUE ESSE NATURÆ, & esse quidem ubique, secundum NATURAM divinitatis suæ, & loco contineri, secundum NATURAM humanitatis suæ.
