Argument: Athanasius says: Such as is the Father, such is the Son. Therefore Christ is not created.
Response: He speaks of the divinity of Christ, [but] the Word, which is God, became incarnate.
XXX [a].
Again: Contraries must be eliminated [contraria sunt e medio tollenda]. Your third and sixth propositions are clearly contrary. The third states that those things which pertain to man are rightly said of God, and those things which pertain to God, of man. The sixth, that it is not permissible to say that since Christ is thirsty, a slave, dead, therefore he is thirst, slavery, death. Therefore these propositions must be eliminated.
Response: In the third proposition we are speaking in the concrete, but in the sixth in the abstract.
Again: This is the catholic faith, that we confess one Lord Jesus Christ, true God and man. Therefore, neither God the Father nor the Holy Spirit, since "one" excludes both God the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Response: One God, and threefold [trinum] in Trinity, nor do we deny the Trinity. For there is one God, but three persons, nor yet are they separated from each other.
Again: The Word was made flesh. But flesh is a creature. Therefore the Word, that is, God, was made a creature.
Response: John says concerning Christ that he was made flesh, that is, that he assumed human nature, while otherwise he remained God.
Again: They think rightly who say that Christ is [not] a creature according to his humanity, as Schwenkfeld.
Response: They are all wrong who call Christ a creature _simpliciter_.
