Second London Baptist Confession on the person of Christ
One person in two natures, unconfused and undivided
So that two whole, perfect, and distinct natures, were inseparably joined together in one Person: without conversion, composition, or confusion: which Person is very God, and very Man; yet one Christ, the only Mediator between God and Man.
THE POSITION
Chapter 8.2 gives the Chalcedonian formula in confessional prose: two whole, perfect and distinct natures inseparably joined in one person, without conversion, composition or confusion. Paragraph 8.7 adds the communication of properties — what belongs to one nature is sometimes attributed in Scripture to the person named from the other.
14 The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

ABOUT THIS FIGURE
The confessional standard of the Particular Baptists, first printed 1677 and adopted by the London General Assembly of 1689. It takes over the Westminster Confession chapter by chapter and rewrites it at four points that matter: the covenant (ch. 7), the gospel and the extent of its grace (ch. 20, which Westminster has no counterpart to), the church (ch. 26), and baptism (ch. 29). This entry rests on the 1677/1689 printing with its own Scripture proofs, read against the Westminster text clause by clause.
