23. For the right Faith is, that we believe and confess, that our Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God and Man. God of the Substance of the Father, begotten before the Worlds: And Man of the substance of his Mother, Born in the World; perfect God, and perfect Man, of a reasonable Soul, and Humane Flesh subsisting. Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead, and inferiour to the Father as touching his Manhood; who although he be God and Man, yet he is not two but one Christ. One not by conversion of the Godhead into Flesh, but by taking of the Manhood into God. One altogether, not by confusion of Substance, but by unity of Person: For as the reasonable Soul and Flesh is one Man, so God and Man is one Christ, who suffered for our Salvation, descended into Hell, rose again the third Day from the Dead, he ascended into Heaven, he sitteth on the Right Hand of the Father God Almighty; from whence he shall come to judge the Quick and the Dead.
