Question 5 — The Parts of Human Nature Which Were Assumed

We must now consider the assumption of the parts of human nature; and under this head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether the Son of God ought to have assumed a true body?

• (2) Whether He ought to have assumed an earthly body, i.e., one of flesh and blood?
• (3) Whether He ought to have assumed a soul?
• (4) Whether He ought to have assumed an intellect?
