man_n can_v fight_v with_o his_o enemy_n in_o mind_n and_o will_v only_o but_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o hand_n weapon_n and_o the_o like_a but_o a_o angel_n by_o the_o sole_a power_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o will_v without_o either_o hand_n or_o arm_n can_v both_o fight_v against_o and_o also_o overcome_v a_o whole_a host_n of_o armed-man_n so_o a_o angel_n in_o one_o night_n slay_v of_o the_o assyrian_n one_o hundred_o eighty_o and_o five_o thousand_o again_o man_n by_o the_o art_n of_o paint_v and_o engrave_v may_v make_v such_o a_o image_n of_o man_n so_o lively_o represent_v that_o it_o may_v seem_v to_o live_v and_o breath_n yet_o not_o without_o great_a pain_n and_o labour_n but_o a_o angel_n without_o any_o pain_n without_o hand_n without_o instrument_n can_v even_o in_o a_o instant_n as_o it_o be_v so_o frame_v a_o body_n of_o element_n that_o it_o shall_v be_v take_v for_o a_o true_a humane_a body_n of_o very_a wise_a man_n such_o a_o body_n as_o can_v walk_v speak_v eat_v drink_v yea_o may_v be_v touch_v handle_v and_o wash_v thus_o abraham_n prepare_v meat_n for_o angel_n and_o wash_v their_o foot_n as_o the_o apostle_n have_v it_o entertane_v angel_n unaware_o suppose_v they_o have_v be_v man_n the_o same_o which_o happen_v to_o his_o nephew_n lot_n when_o he_o receive_v two_o angel_n into_o his_o house_n for_o man_n as_o stranger_n and_o traveller_n so_o the_o angel_n raphael_n for_o many_o day_n together_o dwell_v and_o be_v conversant_a with_o tobia_n the_o young_a walk_v talk_v and_o eat_v and_o drink_v as_o if_o he_o be_v true_o man_n and_o yet_o when_o he_o be_v to_o leave_v he_o say_v i_o seem_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v with_o you_o but_o i_o use_v invisible_a meat_n and_o drink_n and_o so_o vanish_v sudden_o out_o of_o their_o sight_n a_o great_a power_n certain_o and_o a_o admirable_a so_o quick_o to_o make_v a_o body_n as_o shall_v not_o be_v discern_v to_o differ_v from_o a_o humane_a and_o live_a body_n in_o any_o thing_n and_o the_o same_o again_o to_o dissolve_v in_o a_o trice_n as_o oft_o as_o it_o please_v he_o again_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v so_o close_o conjoin_v to_o the_o body_n that_o without_o it_o the_o soul_n can_v move_v from_o place_n to_o place_n but_o god_n have_v not_o so_o tie_v a_o body_n to_o angelical_a nature_n but_o without_o a_o body_n they_o may_v most_o swift_o pass_v from_o heaven_n to_o earth_n from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n again_o or_o whither_o also_o they_o please_v thus_o as_o the_o angelical_a nature_n be_v next_o unto_o god_n in_o dignity_n so_o do_v

say_v to_o be_v ubiquitary_a the_o number_n of_o these_o angel_n be_v uncertain_a not_o reveal_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o without_o doubt_n so_o many_o as_o can_v well_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o art_n of_o enumeration_n million_o of_o million_o minister_a unto_o god_n and_o ten_o thousand_o time_n ten_o thousand_o stand_v before_o he_o whereupon_o dionysius_n and_o with_o he_o aquinas_n do_v conclude_v that_o the_o number_n of_o angel_n be_v more_o than_o be_v the_o number_n of_o all_o corporeal_a substance_n whatsoever_o and_o although_o their_o number_n be_v so_o infinite_a yet_o
