"what does it profit if I should say that Jesus has come in that flesh alone which he received from Mary and I should not show also that he has come in this flesh of mine?"

"Quid . . . prode est, si in illa tantum carne, quam de Maria suscepit, dicam venisse Iesum et non ostendam etiam in hac mea carne quod venerit?"

     Origen, Homily 3.7 on Genesis, as trans. Ronald E. Heine, FC 71 (Washington, DC:  Catholic University Press, 1982), 101.  Latin of Rufinus from GCS 29 (1920), as ed. W. A. Baehrens, 49 ll. 26-28, not SC 7.
