That
the exaltation
or
Petting
Chrift
at
the right hand,
is
the ele-
vating
his
humane nature to the
full and free ufes
of
the
divine

ties,fo that
his

by
actuall
ufe
hereof,
is

But
as
this
laft
is a
mifinterpreting
of
this article ; fo
the ground of their error is,
that they
fuppofe
a
falfe effèét
of
perfonall
union,
namely,
fuch
a
reali
communication, for the union cannot
caufe
the
humane nature partake
more
in
the
properties
of
the
divine, then
it

ofthe
Humane. Againe,
if
a
true
real
communication did follow
of
Divine attributes,it mutt needsbe

theDivine Effence,which
can
noway be divided.
Befide,in
the
union
of
body
and foule,
which
is
perfonall, the
life
of
the
foule
is
not
communicated with
the body, butaneffe&

Not
to
mention the infinite perfections cannot per-
fect finite
natures,no more then
rcafonable perfections canmake perfeát
unreafonable creatures.
Finally,This
opinion maketh
the
divine
properties become inftru-
mentary
faculries,as
it
were to
a
finite
nature.This by the way.
