HIS REPLY TO DR. EKEBOM’S DEPOSITION. 199
and, probably, likewise by those at Lund and Abo. The
Doctor is determined not to know, that good works, which
are said freely and spontaneously to follow faith, and are
called the fruits of faith, the works of the Spirit, and the
works of grace, and which are performed in a state ofjus
tification, have, agreeably to the Formula Concordiæ, no
connexion with faith, and, accordingly, do not contribute
at all to salvation : nay, that it would be detrimental, if
they should combine and mix themselves with faith, and
that which is without connexion, is in itself separate.
Among the quotations from the Formula Concordia
concerning the Divinity of Christ, there are some num
bers in my former reply erroneously set down, viz., 337,
375, ought to be 737, 775 ; for which reason I adjoin
herewith a more distinct and copious extract from the
Formula Concordiæ, from the Leipsic edition, 1756, as
follows :-That in Christ God is Man, and Man is God,
607, 765. That Christ, true God and Man, is in one
indivisible Person, and abideth to eternity, 600, 762,
763, 840. That Christ, as to the Human Nature, has
been raised to the omnipotent power of God, foras
much as HE WAS SUCH A MAN that the Human Nature
had so close, and so ineffable an union and communion
with the Son of God, as to become One Person, 607.
That Christ’s Human Nature has been exalted to the
Divine Majesty and Power, is known from the Council
of Ephesus, and Chalcedon ; next, from the fathers, as
Athanasius, Augustin, Chrysostom, Eusebius, Cyril,
Eustachius, Gregory, Epiphanius, Theodoret, Basil the
Great, Theophylact, Hilary, Origen, Nicephorus, Nys
senius, Vigilius Leo, 840, 878. It is also confirmed
from the Word in many places, 608, 844, 847, 852, 861,
863, 869. That Christ’s Human Nature has received
the most excellent, the greatest and supernatural proper
ties, and the celestial prerogatives of majesty, strength,
and power, 774. Moreover, the spirit of all wisdom,
781. That Christ operateth in, with, and through,
both natures, and through the human, as by the organ
of Deity, 773, 779, 847. That this takes place by
the hypostatic union, glorification, and exaltation,
