IV. To the First and Second Reasonings in the Solution of the Question
49. The first and second reasons adduced to show the difference in the solution of the question [nn.36-37]: ‘[Christ] is different according to humanity and deity, therefore he is different’ - the antecedent is denied; nor does ‘he is of a different nature in humanity and deity’ follow therefrom.Scotus is not denying here what he said in nn.36-37, but denying that the difference he showed there of existences in Christ can be used to argue to a difference of subsistences in Christ, or to show that Christ is one supposit in one existence and another supposit in the other existence; for, on the contrary, he is not different even as to each existence but the same in both. Further, the difference cannot be used either to show that Christ is different in having two natures. Christ is, as it were, one supposit all the way through whatever the differences.
