2. The Son of God, the second Person in the Trinity, being very and eternall God, of one Substance, and equall with the Father; did, when the fullnesse of time was come, take upon Him mans nature,a with all the Essentiall properties, and common infirmities thereof, yet, without sin:b being conceived by the Power of the Holy Ghost, in the womb of the Virgin Mary, of her substance.c So that, two whole, perfect, and distinct Natures, the Godhead and the Manhood, were inseparably joyned together in one Person, without Conversion, Composition, or Confusion.d Which person, is very God, and very Man, yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and Man.e
