argument_n answer_v to_o their_o ten_o argument_n do_v not_o suffice_v to_o produce_v a_o true_a shape_n of_o a_o humane_a body_n but_o only_o by_o the_o due_a and_o ordinary_a mean_a of_o generation_n nevertheless_o so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n be_v capable_a to_o clothe_v themselves_o and_o to_o put_v on_o a_o certain_a similitude_n of_o humane_a body_n as_o touch_v the_o colour_n and_o figure_n and_o other_o such_o exterior_a accident_n and_o that_o especial_o at_o such_o a_o time_n as_o when_o it_o may_v suffice_v they_o by_o a_o local_a motion_n to_o move_v any_o such_o body_n by_o mean_n whereof_o both_o the_o vapour_n be_v thicken_v and_o again_o purefy_v and_o make_v thin_a as_o also_o the_o cloud_n be_v diverse_o paint_v and_o figure_v but_o they_o object_n again_o that_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o they_o say_v that_o it_o behoove_v the_o cause_n answer_n a_o reply_n to_o the_o former_a answer_n move_a to_o infuse_v some_o virtue_n into_o the_o body_n move_v but_o can_v infuse_v any_o virtue_n except_o it_o touch_v it_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o angel_n have_v not_o any_o touch_v nor_o feel_v with_o the_o 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 reply_n answer_v to_o the_o reply_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 answer_n a_o surreply_n to_o the_o former_a answer_n 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_v 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 phisee_n li._n 7._o phisee_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 argument_n the_o eleven_o argument_n 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 diverse_a argument_n motion_n 8._o phisicorum_fw-la argument_n urge_v that_o angel_n can_v move_v body_n with_o a_o local_a motion_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 it_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 reason_n answer_v to_o the_o first_o reason_n 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 lasser_n 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 as_o 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 reason_n the_o second_o reason_n 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 reason_n answer_v to_o the_o second_o reason_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 the_o form_n follow_v spiritual_a and_o incorporal_a substance_n reason_n the_o three_o reason_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 reason_n answer_v to_o the_o three_o reason_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 argument_n their_o twelfth_n argument_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 argument_n answer_v to_o their_o twelfth_n argument_n 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 purefaction_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 &_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 body_n their_o thirteen_o argument_n that_o devil_n can_v take_v a_o body_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 s._n jerome_n interpret_n that_o
