Volume VII.    February 1861.    No. 2.

Theological Axioms.

(Continued.)
V. Of Christ.

1. Quot Christo in scripturis tribuuntur nomina, totidem extant divina
et infallibilia de ipsius beneficiis testimonia.

As many names as are given to Christ in Scripture, just so many divine
and infallible testimonies of his benefits are thereby set down.

2. "Tolle morbos, tolle vulnera, et nulla est causa medicinae." Aug.

Take away the sicknesses, take away the wounds, and there is no need
of medicine.

3. "Si homo non periisset, filius hominis non venisset."

Had man not fallen, the Son of Man would not have come.

4. Christus est se ipso major et se ipso minor.

Christ is greater than himself, and less than himself.

5. Natura divina est assumens, humana assumta.

The divine nature is the one assuming, the human nature the one
assumed.

6. Persona Verbi non assumsit personam hominis, sed naturam
hominis.

The Person of the Word has not assumed the person of a man, but the
nature of man.

7. In Christo est ἄλλο καὶ ἄλλο, sed non ἄλλος καὶ ἄλλος, in Deitate
autem est ἄλλος καὶ ἄλλος, sed non ἄλλο καὶ ἄλλο.

In Christ there is one thing and another thing [in the neuter], but
not one and another [person]; in the divine essence, by contrast, there is
one and another [person], but not one thing and another thing.

8. Οὐκ ἄνθρωπον ἀποθεωθέντα λέγομεν, ἀλλὰ θεὸν ἐνανθρωπήσαντα.

We do not say that a man became a God, but that God became a man.

9. Post factam incarnationem non persona τοῦ λόγου extra carnem, nec
caro extra personam τοῦ λόγου statui debet.

One must not believe that, after the incarnation had taken place, the
Person of the Logos exists outside the flesh, nor that the flesh exists
outside the Person of the Logos.
