that

brings

salvation

to

the

world

,

is

that

which

deals

with

the

incarnation

of

the

Word

,

and

bears

that

He

gave

Himself

over

to

the

flesh

of

man

which

He

acquired

of

Mary

,

while

yet

He

conserved

His

own

identity

,

and

sustained

no

divine

transposition

or

mutation

,

but

was

brought

into

conjunction

with

the

flesh

after

the

similitude

of

man

;

so

that

the

flesh

was

made

one

with

the

divinity

,

the

divinity

having

assumed

the

capacity

of

receiving

the

flesh

in

the

fulfilling

of

the

mystery

.

And

after

the

dissolution

of

death

there

remained

to

the

holy

flesh

a

perpetual

impassibility

and

a

changeless

immortality

,

man’s

original

glory

being

taken

up

into

it

again

by

the

power

of

the

divinity

,

and

being

ministered

then

to

all

men

by

the

appropriation

of

faith

.
