I speak of a dominicalμ28.1265 body and a dominical soul and dominical blood and a dominical burial and a whole dominical man by the union of God the Word, so as to be one Lord, the same God and man; and at one time to hear of him as wholly God and Lord, and at another time of him as wholly man. For he himself says concerning himself: "Why do you seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you?" and Paul: "the man Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever," and having touched this very man, Thomas says: "My Lord and my God," and likewise Paul says: "whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever"; therefore wholly God and man through the union by good pleasure. For if "he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit," much more when the Lord is said and believed to have become man without losing being God, he is the same God and man; God because of his nature, and man because of his participation in humanity by good pleasure.

σῶμα κυμ28.1265 ριακὸν λέγω καὶ ψυχὴν κυριακὴν καὶ αἷμα κυριακὸν καὶ ταφὴν κυριακὴν καὶ ἄνθρωπον καθόλου κυ ριακὸν ἑνώσει τοῦ θεοῦ λόγου, οὕτως ὡς εἶναι ἕνα κύριον τὸν αὐτὸν θεὸν καὶ ἄνθρωπον· καί ποτε αὐτὸν ὅλον θεὸν καὶ κύριον ἀκούειν, καί ποτε αὐτὸν ὅλον ἄνθρωπον. αὐτὸς γὰρ λέγει περὶ ἑαυτοῦ· "τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι ἄνθρωπον, ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα;" καὶ Παῦλος· "ἄνθρωπος Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς χθὲς καὶ σήμερον ὁ αὐτὸς καὶ εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας", καὶ αὐτὸν τοῦτον τὸν ἄνθρωπον ψηλαφήσας ὁ Θωμᾶς λέγει· "ὁ κύριός μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου", καὶ ὁμοίως ὁ Παῦλος λέγει· "ὧν οἱ πατέρες, καὶ ἐξ ὧν ὁ Χριστὸς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα, ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας"· θεὸς οὖν καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὅλος διὰ τὴν ἐξ εὐδοκίας ἕνωσιν. εἰ γὰρ "ὁ κολλώμενος τῷ κυρίῳ ἓν πνεῦμά ἐστιν", πολλῷ πλεῖον ὅταν ὁ κύριος λέγηται καὶ πιστεύηται ἄνθρωπος γεγενῆσθαι οὐκ ἀπολέσας τὸ εἶναι θεὸς, ἔστι θεὸς καὶ ἄνθρωπος ὁ αὐτός· θεὸς μὲν διὰ τὴν φύσιν, ἄνθρωπος δὲ διὰ τὴν ἐξ εὐδοκίας μετοχὴν τῆς ἀνθρωπότητος.
