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
