Pilgram Marpeck, "Concerning the Love of God in Christ," The Writings, 529-530



Love is all power, authority, strength, might, wisdom, reason, skill, understanding, truth, righteousness, mercy, forbearance, patience, meekness in all humility and lowliness.  She is fully God in all, in with, and through her summation Jesus Christ our Healer.  He is the complete, whole, eternally coming true love of the Father, and the Father himself is the true love of the Son, one Spirit, God, and Lord forever, not mixed but One from eternity, not separated into two or three but three in One eternally.


Only what God himself is from eternity in and of himself is everlasting (understand: not "in" but "from" eternity), and remains eternally, God the Word and Spirit.  The incarnate Word is taken into the unity, and, according to the measure of time, one in and with God.  He is two natures, one Man, two natures, one God, divine and human in one.
