Eusebius of Vercelli, on Phil 2:7

“But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man.”

“How then did he "empty himself"? When the "form of God accepted the form of a slave," when he who is preeminently the Lord deigned to take on himself what belongs to a slave. The Word was made flesh by bearing and doing what was beneath him in his indulgence and compassion toward us. All that he possessed by nature is emptied into this his person. Having been made obedient as a man in the true "fashion of humanity," he has restored to our nature by his own humility and obedience what had perished through disobedience in Adam.”
