Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Second Series Vol. 3
"Whoever heard such things? Who taught them? Who learnt them? Out of Zion shall go forth the law and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.' [1140] But whence did these things come forth? What hell vomited them out? To say that the body taken of Mary was of the same substance as the Godhead of the Word, or that the Word was changed into flesh and bones and hairs and a whole body; whoever heard in a church or at all among Christians that God bore a body by adoption and not by birth?" [1141]
