Theodori presbyteri Rhaethensis Libellus adversus haereses quibus jam olim hypostatica duarum in Christo naturarum unio oppugnata est

[text missing in original scan, inferred context: ...by that addition, it repudiates everyone who attempts to disjoin this truly excellent and admirable union; and it signifies two natures not only essentially united, but also by that union which effects a single hypostasis without any division or confusion.]

EXPLANATION OF THE
DEFINITION.

[See previous column for context: This definition, when it expresses two natures, signifies a different kind and a different essence of those two natures that have met, namely the divinity that assumes and the humanity that is assumed. When it says "essentially united," it signifies that this union of two natures is by no means to be understood as if it signified a certain willing inclination of one into the other, or any other habit between them, but that the very substance and subject itself in reality caused these natures to constitute a hypostasis together, and to be composed. When it says "united by a hypostatic union," it signifies that the humanity was not made first and then the divinity was subjected to it, but that the humanity was united to the divinity at the very moment it first began to exist.]
