<p> the subsistence ( ὑπὀστασις ) of two natures in one person, in Christ. While the reality of such a union is established by the Scriptures, and is on that account maintained by our [[Church]] (see 2nd [[Article]] of Religion-" So that two whole and perfect natures," etc.), it is to be lamented that many intricate and fruitless metaphysical questions have been debated among different sects of [[Christians]] as to the divine nature of our Lord, and the manner of the union between the [[Deity]] and a man-the parties engaged in these questions being too often hurried into presumptuous as well as unprofitable speculations-on points as far beyond the reach of the human intellect as colors to a man born blind; and forgetting that the union of the soul and body of any one among us can neither be explained nor comprehended by himself or any other, and appears the more mysterious the more we reflect upon it (Eden).

Hypostatical Union [1]

is a theological term devised by the old divines to express the union of the human nature of Christ with the divine in one person. It must be observed that this union is not consubstantial, as of the three persons in one Godhead; nor physical, as soul and body united in one person; nor mystical, as between Christ and believers; but so that the manhood subsists in the second person, yet without making confusion, both forming but one person. (See Arianism); (See Hypostatical Union); (See Person Of Christ); (See Sabellians).
