Hypostatic union — Colossians 2 requires divine substance on earth
Faith: divine nature personally united to Christ's human nature.
Col 2: all fullness of deity dwells in Him bodily/substantially.
He walked earth — so divine substance was on earth, or the union breaks.
Latin
XVIII. Et huc etiam nos ducit fidei analogia. Nam ex fide certum est naturam divinam in Christo humanae naturae esse personaliter unitam. Et sic omnem plenitudinem divinitatis in Christo habitare corporaliter & substantialiter, ut docet Apostolus capite secundo Epist. ad Colossenses. Sed Christus secundum naturam humanam in terris diu versatus est. Ideoque necesse est divinam substantiam in terris etiam adesse, nisi quis dissolvere velit unionem duarum naturarum in Christo: aut dicere Christi naturam humanam personaliter unitam fuisse cum natura divina, etiam tum quum ab ea secundum locum distabat.
