Chapter V.—Apostrophe to Satan.
For if
the Lord were a mere man, possessed of a soul and body only, why dost
thou mutilate and explain away His being born with the common nature of
humanity? Why dost thou call the passion a mere appearance, as if it were
any strange thing happening to a [mere] man? And why dost thou reckon the
death of a mortal to be simply an imaginary death? But if, [on the other
hand,] He is both God and man, then why dost thou call it unlawful to
style Him “the Lord of glory,”1326
who is by nature unchangeable? Why dost thou say that it is
unlawful to declare of the Lawgiver who possesses a human soul,
“The Word was made flesh,”1327
and was a
perfect man, and not merely one dwelling in a man? But how came this
magician into existence, who of old formed all nature that can be
apprehended either by the senses or intellect, according to the will of
the Father; and, when He became incarnate, healed every kind of disease
and infirmity?1328
