21. Do we deny the immortality of
Christ’s Godhead, i.e. Is Christ
God in the true sense of the Name, or not? because He tasted
death for all in the flesh? Then is Gabriel better than Christ,
for Gabriel never died, but Christ gave up the ghost. But the
servant is not above his lord, S. Matt. x. 24. and we must
discern the weakness of flesh from the eternity of Godhead.
Christ’s Death had its source in the flesh, immortality is of the
nature of Christ’s sovereignty. But if the Godhead brought
it to pass that the flesh saw not corruption, the flesh being surely by
nature liable to corruption, how could the Godhead itself have
died?
