Whether this Man, i.e. Christ, began to be?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that this Man, i.e. Christ, began to be. For Augustine says (Tract. cv in Joan.) that "before the world was, neither were we, nor the Mediator of God and men---the Man Jesus Christ." But what was not always, has begun to be. Therefore this Man, i.e. Christ, began to be.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, Christ began to be Man. But to be man is to be simply. Therefore this man began to be, simply.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, "man" implies a suppositum of human nature. But Christ was not always a suppositum of human nature. Therefore this Man began to be.
