Grynaeus, Johann Jakob · 1587

that there are so many men who are not affected by the testimonies of divine goodness and the sense of their own mortality, such that they would rather, by contradicting God himself, bring upon themselves eternal destruction, than achieve eternal salvation by peacefully acquiescing through faith in the one Mediator of God and Men, JESUS CHRIST?
It is now commonly known that it is an Antichristian heresy to imagine multiple Christs, that is, those who—along with JESUS CHRIST, as the Prince—obtain for us the remission of sins, liberation from eternal death, and other goods through their own merits and intercession; whether someone says they are blessed Angels, or the spirits of pious men dwelling in the heavens.
But truly, this other heresy is no less Antichristian: Denying that JESUS CHRIST has come in the Flesh. For those who deny the reality of the Flesh of Christ, by attributing to him things that truly destroy human Flesh, call into doubt Christ's Incarnation, Passion, Death, Burial, Resurrection, Ascension into heaven, and his visible and glorious Return—that is, all the articles of the Catholic faith concerning Jesus Christ. How much evil is in this matter is not obscure. Furthermore, what is the point of fighting against the Arians to defend the orthodox doctrine concerning the eternal Deity and Person of that Word who is the co-eternal and co-essential Son of God, if in the meantime you attribute to him a Marcionite, invisible, and illocal Body?
