Observe further, that the deification of the
nature and the will points most expressly and most directly both to two
natures and two wills. For just as the burning does not change
into fire the nature of the thing that is burnt, but makes distinct
both what is burnt, and what burned it, and is indicative not of one
but of two natures, so also the deification does not bring about one
compound nature but two, and their union in subsistence. Gregory
the Theologian, indeed, says, “Whereof the one deified, the other
was deified Greg. Naz.,
Orat. 42.,” and by
the words “whereof,” “the one,” “the
other,” he assuredly indicates two natures.
