143:1
Psalmus dicit: A summo cæli egressio ejus, ct recursus ejus usque ad summum ejus ( Psal. XVIII, 7). Nemo porro recurrit, nisi quo fuit; sed ascerdente Christo, Filius hominis recurrit in coelum, qui erat prius in coelo. Sic etiam sanctus Paulus exponens ait: Ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem, dedit dona hominibus (Ephes. IV, 8, 9). Et paulo post: Qui descendit, inquit, ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes caelos, ut impleret omnia. Cumque per omnem cloquii sui locum Deum venisse prædicet, hominem redisse concludens, hic tamen ipsum dicit ascendere qui descendit; quia in Christo Deus et homo; non alter, sed ipse; non duo ex diversis, sed idem ex utroque mediator.
The Psalm says: His going forth is from the height of heaven, and His return unto its height (Ps. 18:7). Now no one returns except to where he was; but when Christ ascended, the Son of man returned into heaven, He who was before in heaven. So too holy Paul, expounding, says: Ascending on high, He led captivity captive, He gave gifts to men (Eph. 4:8-9). And a little after: He who descended, he says, is the same also who ascended above all the heavens, that He might fill all things. And although throughout every passage of his discourse he proclaims that God came, concluding that the man returned, here nevertheless he says that the same one ascends who descended; because in Christ there is God and man — not another, but the same; not two from diverse [natures], but the same mediator from both.
詩篇說：祂從天這邊出來，繞到天那邊（詩篇十九6）。凡人回去，無非是回到他曾在之處；但基督升天時，人子回到天上，就是那先前在天上的。聖保羅也照樣解明說：祂升上高天的時候，擄掠了仇敵，將各樣的恩賜賞給人（以弗所書四8-9）。稍後又說：那降下的，就是那升上遠超諸天之上者，要充滿萬有。他在整篇論述的各處雖宣講神來到，末了斷定人回去，這裡卻說那升上去的，就是那降下來的；因為在基督裡有神也有人——不是別的，乃是同一位；不是出於不同二者，乃是這出於二者的同一位中保。
143:2
Gemina quidem substantia, sed una forma est.
The substance indeed is twofold, but the form is one.
本體固然是雙重的，但形式卻是同一個。
