I think if you read past the first paragraph you find the explanation.

"He wanted to be born from the mass of the flesh and from that corrupted blood.

Although death remained in that flesh on our account, the leaven of sin was nevertheless purged out, and it became the purest flesh, purified by the Holy Spirit and united with the divine nature in one Person.

Therefore it is truly human nature no different from what it is in us. And Christ is the Son of Adam and of his seed and flesh, but, as has been stated, with the Holy Spirit overshadowing it, active in it, and purging it, in order that it might be fit for this most innocent conception and the pure and holy birth by which we were to be purged and freed from sin.

Looks as though you don't believe Christ Jesus is the Son of God.

We are told that he was more fully Man than we. That’s a reference to Adam, prior to the fall before our flesh was corrupt.

Arguing that he was subject to Adam, would make the claim that he was more Fully Man than we to be wrong.
