membris hic se fallacibus aptans fingeret esse hominem ventosa subdolus arte, mentitus totiens, cum diceret inveteratis do veniam morbis, simul et peccata remitto: Filius est hominis, pestem qui pellere carnis et scelerum nexus laxare ac solvere possit: surge valens, surge innocuus, iam tolle grabatum: Filius hoc hominis iubeo? dignusne videtur qui testis sibi sit seque ac sua carnea norit? quid? cum discipulos, hominis quid Filius esset passurus, fido iam praescius ore monebat, nonne fatebatur se cum virtute paterna esse hominem verum? quod si non credo, fefellit.
Would such a God furnish himself with unreal members, and with cunning make-believe feign himself man, lying whenever He said I have mercy on deep-rooted diseases, and in the same act I remit sins. It is the Son of man who is able to drive out the plague of the flesh and to loosen and undo the bonds of wickedness. Arise in health, arise in innocence, take up thy bed. I, the Son of man, command it. Does He not appear worthy to bear witness of himself, to know himself and his body of flesh? And when, knowing already before-hand, He warned his disciples with truthful lips what the Son of man was to suffer, was He not confessing that along with the power of the Father He was true man? If I believe not this, then He deceived them.
