A69640	An history of apparitions, oracles, prophecies, and predictions with dreams, visions, and revelations and the cunning delusions of the devil, to strengthen the idolatry of the gentiles, and the worshipping of saints departed : with the doctrine of purgatory, a work very seasonable, for discovering the impostures and religious cheats of these times / collected out of sundry authours of great credit, and delivered into English from their several originals by T.B. ; whereunto is annexed, a learned treatise, confuting the opinions of the Sadduces and Epicures, (denying the appearing of angels and devils to men) with the arguments of those that deny that angels and devils can assume bodily shapes ; written in French, and now rendred into English ; with a table to the whole work.	Bromhall, Thomas.	1658 (1658)	Wing B4885; ESTC R15515	377,577	402

many_o place_n which_o be_v proper_a and_o appertain_v to_o god_n only_o and_o therefore_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n can_v take_v any_o body_n unto_o they_o to_o this_o argument_n answer_n may_v be_v make_v in_o this_o manner_n that_o the_o angel_n or_o devil_n so_o take_v any_o body_n upon_o he_o be_v whole_o in_o the_o whole_a body_n which_o it_o assume_v or_o else_o in_o a_o part_n thereof_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o body_n for_o albeit_o he_o be_v not_o the_o form_n of_o the_o body_n which_o it_o assume_v as_o be_v the_o soul_n yet_o so_o it_o be_v that_o he_o be_v the_o mover_n thereof_o now_o it_o behove_v that_o the_o mover_n and_o the_o thing_n move_v shall_v be_v together_o and_o it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n to_o say_v that_o a_o angel_n or_o

only_o albeit_o the_o same_o be_v admit_v to_o have_v many_o member_n and_o many_o part_n thus_o far_o have_v i_o do_v my_o best_a both_o to_o set_v down_o and_o to_o refute_v all_o the_o reason_n and_o argument_n object_v by_o those_o who_o deny_v that_o angel_n and_o devil_n can_v assume_v and_o take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o from_o hence_o forth_o their_o mouth_n may_v be_v stop_v and_o that_o they_o may_v not_o esteem_v as_o fable_v the_o history_n of_o spectre_n and_o of_o the_o apparition_n of_o spirit_n but_o before_o i_o come_v to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n i_o may_v not_o forget_v to_o tell_v you_o how_o that_o many_o of_o the_o rabbin_n and_o jew_n which_o have_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o interpret_v the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v hold_v opinion_n and_o be_v of_o the_o belief_n that_o those_o angel_n which_o appear_v to_o the_o patriarch_n and_o prophet_n do_v not_o appear_v in_o any_o body_n nor_o do_v assume_v unto_o they_o any_o body_n to_o make_v themselves_o visible_a and_o of_o this_o opinion_n among_o other_o be_v rabbi_n moses_n one_o of_o the_o most_o learned_a rabbin_n of_o the_o jew_n who_o say_v that_o all_o that_o which_o be_v read_v and_o record_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n of_o the_o apparition_n of_o angel_n do_v come_v by_o a_o imaginary_a vision_n that_o be_v to_o say_v sometime_o in_o sleep_v and_o sometime_o in_o wake_v but_o this_o position_n as_o saint_n thomas_n of_o aquine_n call_v it_o can_v prevail_v against_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n for_o by_o the_o phrase_n and_o manner_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v usual_a in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o know_v and_o discern_v a_o difference_n that_o which_o be_v signify_v and_o declare_v to_o have_v appear_v pure_o and_o simple_o to_o our_o eye_n from_o that_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o a_o prophetical_a vision_n for_o when_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v understand_v that_o any_o apparition_n be_v make_v by_o way_n of_o vision_n there_o be_v some_o word_n put_v down_o and_o insert_v which_o do_v proper_o appertain_v to_o the_o vision_n such_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v intend_v as_o in_o ezechiel_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o lift_v i_o up_o between_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o lead_v i_o into_o jerusalem_n by_o the_o vision_n of_o the_o lord_n i_o say_v therefore_o that_o when_o it_o appear_v that_o thing_n be_v say_v to_o be_v do_v simple_o we_o ought_v to_o understand_v they_o as_o do_v simple_o and_o true_o now_o we_o read_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o many_o apparition_n have_v be_v make_v in_o body_n and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o grant_v that_o the_o angel_n do_v sometime_o assume_v and_o take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n in_o form_v such_o a_o body_n as_o be_v sensible_a and_o subject_a to_o the_o external_a and_o corporal_a vision_n as_o well_o as_o some_o kind_n of_o
