Example Sentences

[25][…]Holl. (728) further enumerates the apotelesmata of Christ, as of a twofold order. The divine nature of the λόγος cannot affect some things except by a union with flesh[…]; other things, from his free good pleasure or purpose, he does not will to effect without flesh (for example, miracles).

It is further to be observed, that although both the Natures in Christ remaine distinct […] both Natures doe that which is proper vnto them, but with Communion of each with other. This Communion is the concurrence of both Natures in the same Person by their severall proper actions, to the producing of one Apotelesma or outward effect pertaining to our Salvation.
