## Commentarius in Distinctionem X. ### De communicatione idiomatum in comparatione ad personam.
Solet etiam quaeri a quibusdam etc.
DIVISIO TEXTUS.
Supra egit Magister de communicatione idiomatum per comparationem naturae ad naturam, hic agit de communicatione idiomatum in comparatione ad personam. Et quoniam talium proprietatum et idiomatump224-comm1 quaedam sunt, quae sonant in nobilitatem et dignitatem, quaedam vero in quandam defectibilitatem; ideo pars ista dividitur in duas; in quarum prima determinat de primis; in secunda vero de secundis, et incipit secunda pars ultimo capitulo huius distinctionis, ibi: Deinde, si quaeritur, utrum etc.
Prima pars habet duas. In prima inquirit Magister, utrum conditio personalitatis conveniat Christo, secundum quod homo sive secundum humanam naturam. In secunda vero, utrum filiatio adoptionis secundum humanam naturam conveniat eidem, ibi: p. 225 Si vero quaeritur, an Christus sit filius etc. Utrumque autem horum dignitatem et nobilitatem importare videtur, scilicet tam personalitatis conditio quam adoptionis filiatio. Prima pars habet partes duas. In prima movet quaestionem et determinat. In secunda vero dissolvit rationem sophisticam, quae veritatem determinatam impugnat, ibi: Sed nituntur probare aliter etc.
Similiter secunda pars principalis habet duas. In prima determinat quaestionem, qua quaeritur, utrum Christus sit filius adoptivus secundum humanam naturam. In secunda contra hoc opponit et determinat, ibi: Sed ad hoc opponitur sic etc. Subdivisiones autem partium manifestae sunt in littera. — Generalis autem intellectus distinctionis circa duo versatur, scilicet in ostendendo, quod nec personalitatis conditio nec adoptionis filiatio convenit Christo, secundum quod homo.
TRACTATIO QUAESTIONUM.
Ad intelligentiam autem huius partis incidit hic quaestio circa duo. Primo quaeritur de comparatione Christi hominis ad conditionem personalitatis. Secundo vero de comparatione eiusdem ad filiationem adoptionis.
Circa primum breviter quaerenda sunt tria. Primum est, utrum haec sit concedenda: Christus, secundum quod homo, est Deus. Secundo quaeritur de hac: Christus, secundum quod homo, est persona. Tertio quaeritur, utrum haec sit concedenda: Christus, secundum quod homo, est individuum.

## Commentary on Distinction X. ### On the communication of idioms in comparison to the person.
It is also wont to be asked by some, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above the Master treated of the communication of idioms by the comparison of nature to nature; here he treats of the communication of idioms in comparison to the person. And since, of such properties and idiomsp224-comm1, some are such as ring of nobility and dignity, and others of a certain defectibility, therefore this part is divided into two: in the first of these he determines concerning the first kind; in the second, concerning the second kind, and the second part begins in the last chapter of this distinction, there: But if it be asked whether, etc.
The first part has two [parts]. In the first the Master inquires whether the condition of personality belongs to Christ as man, that is, according to His human nature. In the second, whether the filiation of adoption according to the human nature belongs to the same, there: But if it be asked whether Christ is a son, etc. And each of these — namely both the condition of personality and the filiation of adoption — seems to import dignity and nobility. The first part has two parts. In the first he raises the question and determines it. In the second he refutes the sophistical reasoning which impugns the determined truth, there: But they strive to prove otherwise, etc.
Likewise the second principal part has two [parts]. In the first he determines the question by which it is asked whether Christ is an adoptive son according to the human nature. In the second he objects against this and determines it, there: But against this it is objected thus, etc. The subdivisions of the parts, moreover, are manifest in the text. — Now the general sense of the distinction turns upon two things, namely upon showing that neither the condition of personality nor the filiation of adoption belongs to Christ as man.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of this part there falls here a question concerning two matters. First it is asked concerning the comparison of Christ as man to the condition of personality. Second, concerning the comparison of the same to the filiation of adoption.
Concerning the first, three things are briefly to be inquired into. The first is, whether this is to be conceded: Christ, as man, is God. Second it is asked concerning this: Christ, as man, is a person. Third it is asked whether this is to be conceded: Christ, as man, is an individual.
