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

body_n it_o seem_v that_o then_o they_o can_v move_v it_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o they_o can_v take_v upon_o they_o any_o body_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n by_o their_o commandment_n only_o may_v move_v the_o body_n with_o a_o motion_n local_a which_o they_o give_v unto_o it_o in_o touch_v of_o it_o not_o with_o a_o corporal_a kind_n of_o touch_v but_o a_o spiritual_a against_o this_o solution_n they_o dispute_v further_a say_n it_o behove_v the_o mover_n and_o the_o thing_n move_v to_o be_v connex_v and_o unite_v together_o as_o appear_z by_o aristotle_n but_o in_o say_v that_o a_o angel_n do_v command_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o will_n it_o be_v to_o be_v presuppose_v that_o then_o he_o be_v not_o together_o with_o the_o body_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v govern_v by_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v move_v the_o body_n only_o by_o his_o commandment_n hereunto_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o the_o angel_n do_v demand_v a_o execution_n of_o his_o virtue_n and_o puissance_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v that_o there_o be_v some_o spiritual_a touch_v of_o that_o body_n by_o which_o it_o be_v move_v they_o insist_v yet_o further_o and_o say_v that_o the_o angel_n can_v move_v body_n with_o any_o local_a motion_n and_o that_o therefore_o in_o vain_a shall_v the_o body_n be_v obedient_a unto_o they_o see_v they_o shall_v still_o remain_v immovable_a and_o to_o prove_v this_o they_o bring_v divers_a argument_n their_o first_o argument_n be_v take_v from_o the_o authority_n of_o aristotle_n who_o say_v that_o the_o local_a motion_n be_v the_o principal_a and_o most_o perfect_a of_o all_o other_o motion_n now_o the_o angel_n if_o it_o be_v grant_v that_o they_o take_v a_o body_n can_v use_v any_o lesser_a or_o inferior_a motion_n i_o follow_v therefore_o by_o a_o more_o forcible_a reason_n that_o they_o can_v much_o less_o use_v any_o local_a motion_n which_o be_v the_o great_a and_o the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o other_o but_o the_o answer_n be_v easy_a and_o we_o say_v that_o the_o angel_n move_v themselves_o with_o a_o local_a motion_n by_o the_o phantasmaticall_a body_n which_o they_o take_v may_v also_o cause_v the_o other_o lesser_a motion_n by_o use_v some_o corporal_a agent_n for_o the_o produce_v of_o those_o effect_n which_o they_o purpose_v like_v as_o the_o smith_n use_v fire_n to_o soften_v the_o iron_n and_o to_o reduce_v it_o to_o that_o which_o they_o have_v a_o intention_n to_o make_v of_o it_o and_o as_o touch_v that_o say_n of_o aristotle_n that_o the_o local_a motion_n be_v the_o chief_a of_o all_o motion_n the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v because_o every_o corporal_a nature_n have_v life_n be_v apt_a to_o move_v itself_o local_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v it_o either_o reasonable_a or_o sensitive_a which_o give_v life_n unto_o it_o their_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o local_a motion_n of_o natural_a body_n do_v follow_v their_o form_n but_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o cause_n of_o the_o form_n of_o natural_a body_n and_o therefore_o they_o can_v be_v a_o mean_a to_o give_v they_o any_o local_a motion_n nevertheless_o answer_n may_v be_v make_v they_o that_o in_o body_n there_o be_v other_o local_a motion_n then_o those_o that_o do_v adhere_v unto_o the_o form_n as_o the_o flow_a and_o ebb_v of_o the_o sea_n do_v not_o follow_v the_o substantial_a form_n of_o the_o water_n but_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o moon_n with_o much_o great_a reason_n therefore_o may_v other_o local_a motion_n than_o such_o as_o adhere_v to_o to_o the_o form_n follow_v spiritual_a and_o incorporal_a substance_n their_o three_o argument_n be_v that_o the_o corporal_a member_n do_v obey_v to_o the_o conception_n of_o the_o soul_n in_o a_o local_a motion_n in_o asmuch_o as_o they_o have_v from_o she_o the_o begin_n of_o life_n now_o the_o body_n which_o the_o angel_n take_v unto_o they_o have_v not_o from_o they_o the_o beginning_n of_o life_n for_o than_o it_o will_v behoove_v that_o the_o body_n and_o the_o angel_n shall_v be_v unite_v together_o and_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o body_n by_o they_o assume_v can_v be_v obedient_a to_o any_o local_a motion_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o angel_n have_v their_o virtue_n less_o restrain_v or_o hinder_v then_o the_o soul_n insomuch_o that_o be_v separate_v from_o all_o corporal_a massiness_n they_o may_v nevertheless_o take_v a_o airy_a body_n the_o which_o they_o can_v move_v local_o at_o their_o will_n and_o pleasure_n beside_o all_o the_o former_a argument_n they_o reply_v yet_o further_o and_o say_v that_o every_o corporal_a motion_n do_v not_o obey_v to_o the_o command_n of_o the_o angel_n as_o touch_v the_o form_n and_o fashion_v thereof_o now_o the_o figure_n which_o the_o angel_n take_v be_v as_o a_o kind_n of_o form_n and_o therefore_o by_o the_o only_a commandment_n of_o the_o angel_n can_v any_o body_n take_v any_o form_n or_o figure_n whatsoever_o be_v it_o either_o of_o man_n or_o of_o any_o other_o diverse_a kind_n comprise_v under_o one_o gender_n to_o this_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o figure_n which_o the_o angel_n take_v be_v in_o very_a truth_n a_o form_n which_o be_v make_v by_o the_o abscision_n and_o dismember_n as_o a_o man_n may_v say_v of_o the_o thicken_a of_o the_o air_n or_o by_o the_o putrefaction_n of_o it_o or_o by_o the_o similitude_n and_o motion_n which_o may_v be_v take_v of_o the_o same_o matter_n but_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o the_o form_n and_o figure_n that_o be_v make_v so_o accidental_o and_o that_o which_o be_v natural_a and_o according_a to_o the_o true_a substance_n of_o a_o thing_n the_o which_o can_v possible_o be_v confound_v with_o this_o accidental_a figure_n this_o be_v not_o all_o which_o they_o object_n for_o they_o say_v further_o touch_v the_o devil_n that_o if_o they_o do_v invest_v themselves_o with_o a_o body_n than_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v within_o the_o body_n which_o they_o have_v take_v now_o saint_n i_o interpret_n that_o place_n of_o the_o psalmist_n the_o lord_n be_v in_o his_o holy_a temple_n and_o the_o gloss_n do_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n do_v command_v and_o rule_v over_o image_n and_o idol_n external_o and_o can_v be_v in_o they_o internal_o and_o the_o idol_n be_v body_n as_o every_o man_n know_v and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o devil_n can_v take_v upon_o they_o any_o body_n i_o answer_v that_o to_o be_v in_o or_o within_o a_o body_n of_o some_o substance_n have_v a_o double_a and_o twofold_a entendment_n of_o understanding_n in_o the_o first_o sort_n it_o be_v understand_v under_o the_o term_n of_o divinity_n and_o in_o this_o manner_n nothing_o let_v but_o that_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v in_o a_o body_n in_o the_o second_o sort_n it_o be_v mean_v according_a to_o the_o essence_n as_o in_o give_v a_o be_v to_o the_o thing_n and_o in_o work_a man_n in_o it_o which_o be_v proper_a unto_o god_n only_o howbeit_o that_o god_n do_v not_o make_v a_o part_n in_o the_o essence_n of_o any_o thing_n for_o god_n be_v a_o substance_n separate_v and_o abstract_v sole_o and_o only_o in_o itself_o and_o for_o the_o further_a interpretation_n of_o saint_n jerome_n and_o the_o gloss_n which_o say_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v not_o in_o image_n we_o may_v affirm_v that_o they_o do_v privy_o and_o close_o reprehend_v the_o false_a opinion_n of_o the_o paynim_n and_o idolater_n who_o make_v but_o one_o thing_n of_o the_o idol_n be_v it_o of_o wood_n brass_n or_o stone_n and_o of_o the_o unclean_a spirit_n that_o remain_v within_o it_o and_o by_o that_o mean_n will_v have_v make_v a_o live_a substance_n of_o that_o which_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v senseless_a and_o without_o life_n not_o have_v either_o hand_n to_o touch_v withal_o or_o foot_n to_o go_v on_o or_o tongue_n to_o speak_v with_o except_o such_o only_a as_o the_o devil_n do_v seem_v to_o give_v unto_o it_o by_o his_o deceitful_a illusion_n to_o make_v short_a they_o object_v this_o argument_n also_o if_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n do_v take_v to_o they_o anymore_o either_o they_o be_v unite_v unto_o the_o whole_a body_n or_o to_o some_o part_n thereof_o if_o they_o be_v unite_v only_o to_o a_o part_n thereof_o then_o can_v they_o not_o move_v the_o other_o part_n but_o only_o by_o the_o mean_n of_o that_o part_n which_o they_o do_v move_v but_o this_o can_v possible_o be_v for_o otherwise_o the_o body_n assume_v shall_v have_v such_o part_n as_o shall_v have_v the_o organ_n determine_v to_o the_o motion_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o none_o but_o live_a body_n but_o if_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n be_v unite_v immediate_o to_o the_o
from_o the_o stone_n taraxippe_n or_o else_o it_o be_v for_o that_o the_o cock_n and_o the_o lion_n partake_v both_o of_o they_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o sun_n but_o the_o cock_n more_o than_o the_o lion_n it_o happen_v that_o the_o lion_n perceive_v it_o do_v present_o fly_v from_o he_o as_o the_o valiant_a hector_n be_v say_v to_o fly_v before_o achilles_n who_o be_v more_o brave_a and_o more_o warlike_a than_o he_o or_o else_o it_o be_v because_o the_o cock_n be_v a_o celestial_a fowl_n and_o the_o lion_n a_o terrestrial_a creature_n and_o of_o a_o g●osser_a matter_n have_v the_o spirit_n more_o sensitive_a and_o brutal_a then_o the_o other_o do_v therefore_o by_o nature_n yield_v and_o give_v place_n to_o that_o which_o be_v more_o excellent_a and_o this_o reason_n seem_v unto_o i_o in_o some_o sort_n allowable_a the_o rather_o for_o that_o those_o devil_n which_o be_v of_o a_o more_o material_a and_o terrestrial_a nature_n and_o be_v call_v devil_n of_o the_o sun_n do_v fly_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o cock_n as_o well_o as_o the_o lion_n as_o psellus_n teach_v we_o and_o thus_o in_o my_o opinion_n you_o see_v sufficient_o how_o all_o the_o argument_n and_o foolish_a dream_n and_o fancy_n of_o the_o epicure_n may_v be_v soon_o answer_v and_o easy_o dissolve_v the_o argument_n of_o those_o which_o deny_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n can_v take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n confute_v they_o which_o do_v deny_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n can_v take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n do_v not_o aim_v at_o the_o mark_n to_o deny_v their_o essence_n as_o do_v the_o sadducee_n but_o they_o do_v it_o only_o to_o disprove_v and_o impugn_v their_o apparition_n for_o it_o be_v a_o good_a consequent_a if_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n take_v not_o upon_o they_o any_o body_n then_o can_v they_o not_o appear_v and_o if_o one_o shall_v reply_v unto_o they_o and_o say_v that_o in_o our_o spirit_n and_o understanding_n the_o angel_n and_o devil_n may_v give_v some_o show_n and_o token_n of_o their_o presence_n to_o this_o they_o have_v their_o exception_n ready_a that_o thing_n spiritual_a and_o intelligible_a and_o all_o sort_n of_o intelligence_n do_v represent_v themselves_o by_o thing_n that_o be_v sensible_a we_o will_v see_v therefore_o by_o what_o reason_n they_o endeavour_v to_o prove_v that_o a_o angel_n or_o a_o devil_n can_v take_v a_o body_n unto_o they_o no_o body_n say_v they_o can_v be_v unite_v to_o a_o incorporal_a substance_n but_o only_o that_o it_o may_v have_v a_o essence_n and_o a_o motion_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o that_o substance_n but_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n can_v have_v a_o body_n unite_v in_o regard_n of_o any_o essence_n for_o in_o so_o do_v we_o must_v conclude_v that_o their_o body_n shall_v be_v natural_o unite_v unto_o they_o which_o be_v altogether_o untrue_a and_o therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o they_o can_v be_v unite_v unto_o a_o body_n but_o only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o motion_n which_o be_v a_o reason_n of_o no_o sufficiency_n for_o the_o approve_v of_o their_o opinion_n for_o thereof_o will_v follow_v a_o absurdity_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o wit_n that_o they_o may_v take_v all_o those_o body_n that_o be_v move_v by_o they_o which_o be_v a_o very_a great_a and_o gross_a error_n for_o the_o angel_n do_v move_v the_o tongue_n of_o balaams_n ass_n and_o yet_o he_o enter_v not_o in_o his_o tongue_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o a_o angel_n or_o a_o devil_n can_v take_v a_o body_n unto_o they_o to_o this_o argument_n i_o answer_v that_o true_a it_o be_v that_o a_o angel_n and_o a_o devil_n can_v to_o speak_v proper_o take_v unto_o they_o every_o body_n that_o be_v move_v for_o to_o take_v a_o body_n signify_v to_o adhere_v unto_o the_o body_n now_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o devil_n do_v take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n not_o to_o unite_v it_o to_o their_o nature_n and_o to_o incorporate_v it_o together_o with_o their_o essence_n as_o he_o that_o take_v any_o kind_n of_o meat_n for_o sustenance_n much_o less_o to_o unite_v the_o same_o to_o their_o person_n as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o the_o humane_a nature_n but_o they_o do_v it_o only_o that_o they_o may_v visible_o represent_v themselves_o unto_o the_o fight_n of_o man_n and_o in_o this_o sort_n the_o angel_n and_o devil_n be_v say_v to_o take_v a_o body_n such_o as_o be_v apt_a and_o fit_a for_o their_o apparition_n as_o appear_z by_o the_o authority_n of_o denis_n ariopagyte_n who_o write_v that_o by_o the_o corporal_a form_n the_o property_n of_o angel_n be_v know_v and_o discern_v again_o they_o say_v that_o if_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n do_v take_v a_o body_n it_o be_v not_o for_o any_o necessity_n that_o they_o have_v but_o only_o to_o instruct_v and_o exhort_v we_o to_o live_v well_o as_o do_v the_o angel_n or_o to_o deceive_v and_o destroy_v we_o as_o do_v the_o devil_n now_o both_o to_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o the_o imaginary_a vision_n or_o the_o tentation_n be_v sufficient_a and_o therefore_o it_o seem_v that_o it_o be_v not_o needful_a they_o shall_v take_v unto_o they_o any_o body_n i_o answer_v that_o not_o only_o the_o imaginary_a vision_n of_o angel_n be_v necessary_a for_o our_o instruction_n but_o that_o also_o which_o be_v corporal_a and_o bodily_a as_o we_o shall_v show_v anon_o when_o we_o entreat_v of_o the_o apparition_n of_o angel_n and_o as_o concern_v the_o devil_n god_n do_v permit_v they_o both_o visible_o and_o invisible_o to_o tempt_v man_n some_o to_o their_o salvation_n and_o some_o to_o their_o damnation_n moreover_o they_o thus_o agree_v that_o god_n appear_v unto_o the_o patriarch_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o the_o good_a angel_n likewise_o as_o saint_n augustine_n prove_v in_o his_o book_n of_o the_o trinity_n now_o we_o may_v not_o say_v that_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o any_o body_n except_o only_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o his_o incarnation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needless_a to_o affirm_v that_o the_o angel_n which_o appear_v unto_o man_n may_v take_v upon_o they_o a_o body_n i_o answer_v as_o do_v saint_n augustine_n who_o say_v that_o all_o the_o apparition_n which_o be_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v make_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n who_o form_v and_o shape_v unto_o themselves_o certain_a shape_n and_o figure_n imaginary_a and_o corporal_a by_o which_o they_o may_v reduce_v and_o draw_v unto_o god_n the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n of_o he_o that_o see_v they_o as_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o by_o figure_n which_o be_v sensible_a man_n may_v be_v draw_v and_o lift_v up_o in_o spirit_n and_o contemplation_n unto_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o may_v well_o say_v that_o the_o angel_n do_v take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n when_o they_o appear_v in_o such_o apparition_n but_o now_o god_n be_v say_v to_o have_v appear_v because_o god_n be_v the_o bu●t_n and_o mark_v whereunto_o by_o vision_n of_o those_o body_n the_o angel_n do_v endeavour_v and_o seek_v to_o lift_v up_o unto_o god_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o in_o these_o apparition_n sometime_o god_n appear_v and_o sometime_o the_o angel_n furthermore_o they_o make_v this_o objection_n like_a as_o it_o be_v agree_v natural_o to_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n so_o not_o to_o be_v unite_v unto_o a_o body_n be_v proper_a and_o natural_a unto_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n now_o the_o soul_n can_v be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n when_o it_o will_v therefore_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n also_o can_v take_v unto_o they_o a_o body_n when_o they_o will_n for_o answer_v whereof_o i_o confess_v that_o every_o thing_n be_v bear_v and_o engender_v have_v not_o any_o power_n over_o his_o be_v for_o all_o the_o power_n of_o any_o thing_n flow_v from_o the_o essence_n thereof_o or_o presuppose_v a_o essence_n and_o because_o the_o soul_n by_o reason_n of_o she_o be_v be_v unite_v unto_o the_o body_n as_o the_o form_n thereof_o it_o be_v not_o in_o her_o puissance_n to_o deliver_v herself_o from_o the_o union_n of_o the_o body_n and_o so_o in_o like_a manner_n it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o power_n of_o any_o angel_n or_o devil_n to_o unite_v themselves_o to_o any_o body_n as_o the_o form_n
