Those who make the Human of the Lord
like the human of another person,
do not think of His conception from the Divine itself,
nor do they consider that the body of everyone
is an effigy of his soul.
Neither do they think of
His resurrection with the whole body;
nor of His appearance when He was transformed,
that His face shone as the sun.
Neither do they think,
respecting those things
which the Lord said concerning faith in Him,
concerning His unity with the Father,
concerning His glorification,
and concerning His power over heaven and earth,
that these are Divine,
and were said of His Human.
Neither do they remember
that the Lord is omnipresent also as to His Human (Matt. 23:20);
when yet the faith of His omnipresence in the Holy Supper
is derived from this - omnipresence is Divine.
Yea, perhaps they do not think that the Divine,
which is called the Holy Spirit,
proceeds from His Human;
when yet it proceeds from His glorified Human, for it is said:
The Holy Spirit was not yet,
because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(John 7:39)
When the Lord fully glorified His Human,
He then put off the human from the mother,
and put on the Human from the Father,
which is the Divine Human,
wherefore He was then no longer the son of Mary.
The first and primary principle of the church
is to know and acknowledge its God;
for without that knowledge and acknowledgment
there is no conjunction . . ..
