form of a servant (which is the whole anthrōpotēs humanity) into the unity of the Person.

From this fountain of demonstrations, we conclude solidly with blessed Athanasius: It is necessary for eternal salvation that we also faithfully believe the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. For it is the right faith, that we believe and confess: that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man. God indeed begotten from the substance of the Father before the ages: and Man born from the substance of the Mother in the age. Perfect God, and perfect Man, consisting of a rational soul and human flesh. Equal to the Father according to Divinity, lesser than the Father according to humanity. Who although he is God and man, yet he is not two, but one Christ, etc.

But let the Pious remember that it is rightly concluded from the saying of John and that one, that that enypostaton subsistent Word is not Flesh: but that in the one Person of Jesus Christ there is allo kai allo one thing and another, namely the divine and human Nature, which are disparate and are not confused: because (as the Confession of the Chalcedonian Synod has it) one and the same Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Lord and only-begotten, is manifested in two Natures, unconfusedly, inconvertibly, indivisibly and inseparably: by no means has the difference of the natures been taken away on account of the unity, but rather the property of each Nature concurring into one person and hypostasis.
