Since, then, Christ has two natures, we hold that
He has also two natural wills and two natural energies. But since
His two natures have one subsistence, we hold that it is one and the
same person who wills and energises naturally in both natures, of
which, and in which, and also which is Christ our Lord: and
moreover that He wills and energises without separation but as a united
whole. For He wills and energises in either form in close
communion with the other Leo,
Epist. 10, ad Flavian.. For
things that have the same essence have also the same will and energy,
while things that are different in essence are different in will and
energy Max., Disp. cum
Pyrrho.; and vice
versa, things that have the same will and energy have the same
essence, while things that are different in will and energy are
different in essence.
