Object. I. But kAbraham and lMoses saw God, for he appeared unto them. Answer. They saw him not in his nature and substance, but in certain created images and similitudes, wherein God for that time did testify his presence unto them: some indeed say, that though a man cannot see God in this life, yet in the life to come he shall see him with his bodily eyes. But this opinion is not true, for though the body shall then be perfectly sanctified, and the eye sanctified, yea glorified, yet still it remains a true body, and a true eye, and therefore cannot see the essence of God, which is invisible to the eye of flesh.
