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

believe_v likewise_o and_o their_o first_o argument_n be_v that_o nature_n itself_o forsooth_o do_v teach_v and_o admonish_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o both_o god_n and_o all_o celestial_a essence_n be_v corporal_a for_o two_o reason_n the_o former_a be_v because_o the_o god_n be_v not_o figure_v in_o any_o other_o then_o in_o a_o humane_a form_n and_o the_o second_o because_o whether_o it_o be_v in_o sleep_v or_o in_o wake_v when_o we_o dream_v or_o imagine_v of_o the_o god_n no_o other_o form_n do_v present_v itself_o unto_o our_o imagination_n but_o a_o humane_a shape_n and_o therefore_o they_o conclude_v that_o the_o god_n be_v in_o figure_n like_o unto_o man_n but_o unto_o this_o argument_n cicero_n answer_v sufficient_o that_o such_o humane_a shape_n and_o form_n be_v attribute_v unto_o the_o god_n by_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n and_o that_o either_o it_o proceed_v from_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o ancient_n who_o think_v thereby_o they_o shall_v the_o more_o easy_o draw_v the_o spirit_n and_o mind_n of_o the_o ignorant_a to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o spiritual_a and_o supernatural_a thing_n and_o that_o they_o shall_v the_o soon_o bring_v and_o reduce_v they_o into_o the_o way_n to_o live_v well_o and_o virtuous_o or_o else_o that_o the_o same_o have_v its_o beginning_n and_o first_o footing_n from_o a_o blind_a superstition_n which_o do_v most_o easy_o allure_v man_n to_o adore_v those_o god_n which_o be_v portray_v and_o carve_v in_o a_o form_n most_o please_a and_o agreeable_a unto_o man_n or_o else_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o fiction_n of_o poet_n and_o

point_n may_v well_o serve_v to_o answer_v that_o which_o the_o epicure_n say_v that_o be_v it_o in_o sleep_v or_o in_o wake_v the_o god_n do_v not_o present_v themselves_o unto_o we_o in_o any_o other_o than_o a_o humane_a form_n for_o this_o be_v certain_a that_o by_o the_o portraiture_n and_o picture_n which_o we_o see_v of_o the_o god_n in_o those_o form_n which_o be_v common_a and_o

with_o her_o light_n do_v easy_o believe_v in_o a_o spiritual_a manner_n that_o god_n and_o the_o angel_n be_v spiritual_a the_o second_o argument_n of_o the_o epicure_n touch_v the_o humane_a body_n of_o god_n be_v that_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o that_o form_n which_o be_v or_o can_v be_v imagine_v to_o be_v the_o most_o beautiful_a in_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o they_o say_v that_o the_o humane_a form_n or_o shape_n be_v of_o all_o other_o the_o most_o goodly_a and_o excellent_a and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o think_v that_o god_n be_v carnal_a and_o corporal_a as_o man_n be_v hereunto_o need_v no_o answer_n to_o be_v make_v because_o the_o consequence_n of_o their_o argument_n be_v not_o good_a viz._n that_o god_n shall_v retain_v unto_o himself_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o man_n because_o the_o same_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o other_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n for_o the_o divinity_n of_o god_n neither_o be_v nor_o can_v be_v in_o any_o corporal_a

and_o virtue_n can_v be_v present_a in_o any_o without_o reason_n and_o reason_n can_v be_v in_o none_o but_o in_o the_o figure_n and_o shape_n of_o man_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o the_o god_n which_o have_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n have_v the_o form_n of_o man_n also_o but_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o this_o argument_n may_v soon_o and_o easy_o be_v dissolve_v by_o deny_v that_o reason_n can_v be_v in_o no_o other_o then_o in_o a_o humane_a shape_n for_o both_o god_n and_o the_o angel_n who_o have_v a_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a understanding_n have_v the_o use_n of_o reason_n notwithstanding_o that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o a_o corporal_a substance_n and_o reason_n in_o man_n come_v not_o of_o the_o humane_a body_n but_o from_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n which_o be_v

that_o in_o make_v their_o god_n to_o have_v a_o humane_a body_n they_o do_v therein_o make_v they_o subject_a to_o death_n and_o dissipation_n to_o avoid_v this_o absurdity_n they_o do_v tumble_v

nothing_o can_v let_v but_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o certain_a habitude_n of_o a_o angel_n to_o a_o body_n as_o of_o a_o thing_n that_o move_v to_o the_o motion_n and_o of_o a_o thing_n figure_v to_o the_o figure_n the_o which_o may_v be_v term_v a_o proportion_n another_o argument_n they_o make_v which_o be_v this_o no_o substance_n finite_a whatsoever_o it_o be_v can_v have_v in_o any_o

that_o angel_n which_o come_v to_o tobias_n and_o the_o devil_n also_o when_o they_o show_v themselves_o in_o any_o apparition_n can_v in_o a_o moment_n withdraw_v themselves_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o be_v unable_a and_o unapt_a to_o take_v upon_o they_o any_o body_n either_o elementary_a or_o celestial_a it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o they_o appear_v not_o at_o all_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n may_v take_v a_o body_n of_o any_o element_n whatsoever_o and_o which_o themselves_o will_v yea_o and_o of_o many_o element_n mix_v

will_v not_o satisfy_v they_o but_o they_o go_v further_o say_v that_o every_o assumption_n of_o a_o body_n be_v limit_v and_o bound_v with_o some_o union_n but_o of_o a_o angel_n and_o of_o a_o

save_v only_o that_o which_o be_v of_o a_o thing_n move_v to_o the_o thing_n move_v as_o we_o have_v before_o affirm_v again_o the_o good_a angel_n say_v they_o in_o appear_v unto_o we_o either_o do_v

to_o come_v first_o of_o all_o to_o the_o sadducee_n it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o of_o all_o man_n they_o be_v the_o most_o gross_a and_o carnal_a and_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o any_o thing_n

any_o substance_n he_o create_v they_o to_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n and_o therefore_o when_o he_o make_v man_n he_o say_v that_o he_o make_v he_o according_a to_o his_o own_o image_n

thereunto_o by_o the_o general_a resurrection_n but_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o answer_v they_o by_o deny_v plain_o that_o god_n be_v corporal_a or_o have_v any_o body_n for_o albeit_o the_o holy_a

of_o the_o art_n optic_a do_v hold_v that_o the_o refraction_n which_o be_v make_v of_o form_n be_v it_o either_o in_o a_o mirror_n in_o the_o air_n or_o in_o the_o water_n come_v either_o of_o the_o

to_o move_v themselves_o in_o the_o air_n for_o if_o they_o have_v attribute_v motion_n and_o stir_v unto_o spectre_n and_o have_v prove_v that_o natural_o without_o have_v any_o soul_n or_o life_n they_o may_v notwithstanding_o be_v see_v wander_v and_o run_v hither_o and_o thither_o in_o our_o form_n or_o in_o any_o other_o and_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v see_v in_o all_o

the_o epicure_n who_o by_o comparison_n of_o the_o clothes_n of_o tapestry_n that_o imprint_v their_o colour_n in_o the_o wall_n oppose_v will_v prove_v that_o the_o air_n may_v also_o cast_v any_o

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

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

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

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
whole_a body_n it_o behove_v they_o then_o also_o to_o possess_v every_o part_n of_o that_o body_n which_o they_o have_v take_v to_o they_o and_o so_o by_o that_o mean_v they_o shall_v be_v in_o 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 devil_n fill_v a_o body_n whole_a and_o entire_a of_o substance_n can_v be_v in_o divers_a place_n for_o the_o whole_a body_n assume_v by_o a_o angel_n or_o devil_n be_v not_o but_o in_o one_o place_n 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
