1. We believe the Person of the Son of God, being a Person from all Eternity existing, did assume the most pure Nature of Man,a (wanting all Personal Existing of its own)b into the Unity of his Person, or Godhead,c and made it his own; the properties of each Nature being preserved, and this Inseparable and Indissolvable union of both Natures, and was made by the Holy Ghost, sanctifying our Nature in the Virgins Womb,d without change of either Nature, or mixture of both;e and of two Natures is one Christ, God-Man, or Immanuel, God with us.f Which Mystery exceeds the Conception of Men, and is the wonder of Angels, one only Mediator, Jesus Christ, the Son of God.g
