A Candid Inquiry into the Controversies among Evangelicals · §70

Swabians, Saxons, and Hessians have not stated this quarrel in one shared way

So it is plain how tangled others have made the state of this quarrel, and how Lutherans have not always posed it one way.

The Swabians — Brenz, Schmidlin, and the rest who led first — wanted the divine properties poured into the human nature by the union's force, already in the womb.

The Saxons wanted communion of the divine properties of omnipotence, omnipresence, and the like in the assumed flesh, by the exaltation and the session at the right hand.

The Hessians looked more careful than the others in their Judgment on the Book of Concord (1576). Hospinian, Ursinus Wendelinus, Massonius (Anat. Germ. Part II), and others treat this at length.
